This recipe comes from our neighbor; her husband was our home teacher and would bring them to us all the time. They never lasted long; they are super soft and chewy.
4 Cups flour
4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp cloves
2 tsp ginger
3 tsp cinnamon
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 cup shortening
1/2 cup molasses
Sugar, for coating
Sift flour, baking soda and spices. Blend sugar, shortening, molasses and eggs. Mix well. Slowly add flour mixture. Roll into balls ad roll balls in sugar until covered. Bake on greased cookie sheets, at 350*F, for 10-12 minutes. Makes 120 cookies. To keep them soft, store in airtight container.
