Chewy Ginger Christmas Cookies
2 cups of sugar
1 cup of molasses
1 cup of Crisco
2 Eggs
2 teaspoons of soda
4 cups of flour
2 teaspoons of ginger
2 teaspoons of cinnamon
1 teaspoon of cloves
1/2 teaspoon of salt |

Mix well by hand and add: Mix all together (by hand - not mixer). Roll into balls the size of a small walnut, then roll into red and green colored sugar. Bake at 350ºF. for about 9 minutes. The cookies will look not quite done, but not baking them until hard makes them chewy. The cookies will sink down and have cracks in them.
