- 1 Cup Dark Molasses
- 1 Egg
- 3½ Cups All Purpose Flour
- FOR THE CINNAMON SUGAR
- 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Use Parchment paper on the cookie sheets to prevent sticking.
- Mix the sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the shortening, molasses and egg to the sugar mixture and stir till well combined.
- Stir in the flour and mix till smooth.
- This is a soft dough, so roll the dough into balls quickly with your hands.
- Drop into the Cinnamon Sugar mixture and roll them around to coat them with sugar, then place on baking sheets.
- Bake for 10 minutes for small cookies and 12 minutes for large cookies.
- Remove from pans as soon as they are cool enough to handle with a spatula..
