CREAM TOGETHER:
1 c. sugar (plus you will need another bit of granulated sugar for rolling before baking)
¼ c. butter
½ c. shortening
¼ c. molasses
ADD/MIX:
1 egg
2 t. baking soda
1 t. cinnamon
¼ t. salt
1 t. dry ginger
ADD/MIX:
2 c. flour
Form the dough into two logs, using waxed paper so it doesn’t stick to your hands and is contained. Chill – in the fridge if you’ve got more than an hour or two, in the freezer for 20 -30 minutes if you want to hurry it.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Slice dough (roughly ¼” thick slices, depending on how fat your logs were) and roll between your palms into balls about 1” in diameter. Put some granulated sugar in a small bowl and roll the balls in it before putting them on a cookie sheet. Bake about 10 minutes.
