  • 3/4 C shortening
  • 1 C brown sugar
  • 1/4 C molasses
  • 1 egg
  • 2 1/4 C flour
  • 2 tsp soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ginger
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp cloves
  • 1/4 C bran

Cream together the first 4 ingredients until fluffy.  Sift in dry ingredients and stir well.  Form into small balls.  Roll in granulated sugar until the entire cookie is coated then place 2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet.  Bake at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes ( do not over-bake; they stay nice and soft if baked for 10 minutes or a little less).  Cool slightly and remove from cookie sheet.  Makes about 5 dozen.
