Soft Gingersnap Cookies

Everytime I make these for someone for the first time, and before they try them, I usually get the same reaction... "I don't like gingersnap cookies, because they are too hard." And then I tell them to wait until they try these! They are soooo yummy!

3/4 cup shortening
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
2 1/4 cup flour
2 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp cloves

Mix all together, then mix in 1 TBSP. Make into 1 inch balls, then roll into white sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes. Makes 24 cookies.
