I couldn't find the thread we had before for recipes (Ok, I didn't look to hard, I'm lazy today, sorry).
One of my favorite cookie recipes EVER. Reletively simple but it does take some time (you have to refridgerate the cookie dough for an hour at least). I found it online a while back but forgot to save the link.
Soft Molasses Cookies
3/4 cup shortening
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup molasses
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon nutmeg
Directions: Cream together shortening and brown sugar. Stir in egg and molasses and mix well. Fold in dry ingredients and stir. Cover and chill till firm (1-2 hours). Preheat oven to 350°. Roll dough into small balls and roll in white sugar. Place on lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350° for 9-10 minutes. Leave on sheet one minute until set.
