Gingersnaps

I was introduced these wonderful little cookies my freshman year at BYU by my roommate, Laura. I don't remember how many I ate the first time she made them, but I know it was a lot. They're good.

2 cups flour
1 Tbls ground ginger
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup shortening (I use butter flavored)
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup dark molasses
1/3 c cinnamon sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix and sift the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. In separate bowl, beat shortening and sugar until creamy. Beat in egg and molasses. Sift in 1/3 of flour mixture. Blend well, and repeat until all of the flour mixture has been added. Roll the dough into small balls, and roll in cinnamon sugar. Bake 10 minutes on ungreased cookie sheet.
