Ginger Snap Cookies

Another handwritten recipe from mom.  Directions need to be verified so use your best judgement and prepare at your own risk.

Ginger Snap Cookies
1/2 cup molasses
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons shortening
1 tablespoon milk
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon clove
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger

On the stove top, heat molasses until boiling. Remove from heat. Add sugar, shortening and milk. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt and spices. Add to the wet ingredients. Shape into a ball and chill until hard. Roll and cut into shapes or form into log and slice.  Bake at 350F for 10 minutes.
