Recipe for lots of cookies

I'm putting these recipes in the blog scientifically.  I'm alternately highly unlikely ones with ones that were well used as evidenced by the number of stains on the cards.
This one was very well used.

Molasses Cookies
Jungwirth
Preheat oven to 375

2 Cups sugar
1/2 Cup molasses
1 1/2 Cup Shortening
2 eggs
4 Cups flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon salt

Cream shortening, sugar, and molasses.  Add eggs.  Sift together and stir in dry ingredients.
Chill dough and then roll in teaspoon sized balls.  Dip in sugar and bake 8 - 20 minutes.  Should make a fairly soft cookie.  If they are crisp like gingersnaps, you've baked too long.

Makes 6 dozen
