Ginger Spice Cookies
3/4 C Butter flavored Crisco (tried subbing butter first time, didn't work so great)
1 C sugar, plus more for rolling
1 large egg
1/4 C molasses
2 C flour
2 t baking soda
1 t ground cinnamon
1 t ground ginger
1/2 t ground cloves
1/2 t salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray. Combine shortening and sugar in a mixer and cream until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Add the egg and the molasses and beat until completely incorporated. Sift or whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt and then add to the mixture. Stir until combined. Roll the dough into 1 inch balls and roll in sugar. Place on cookie sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until just set around the edges and you start to see "crackling" on the top. They'll puff up while they're baking and as they cool they'll flatten. Be careful not to overbake, you want to keep them soft and chewy in the middle!

I did a similar cookie - I think it called for 1 1/2 cups of butter, and 3 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of molasses, and similar amounts of sugar and spice. They came out looking like your cookies, harder edge, soft in the middle, and absolutely delish!!
