Ingredients & Directions
                
     2 c  Sugar
     1 c  Molasses
     1 c  Crisco
     2    Eggs
     2 ts Soda
     4 c  Flour
     2 ts Ginger
     2 ts Cinnamon
     1 ts Cloves
   1/2 ts 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 350 degrees 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.
