Molasses Crinkles

These are similar to ginger or spice cookies, but softer. These were always my favorite Christmas cookies! Note: You can make them with butter instead of Crisco, but they'll turn out a lot harder.

2/3 C crisco
1 C brown sugar
Cream.

1 egg - Add and beat.

1/4 C molasses
2 and 1/4 C flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cloves
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
Add and beat. Chill dough. Shape into balls and dip the tops in sugar.

Bake at 375 for 8-10 min.
