- Position a rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat to 325 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or possibly heavy aluminum foil.
- Sift the flour, baking soda, salt, cloves, cinnamon and ginger together and set aside.
- Put the shortening and 1 c. of the sugar in the large bowl of an electric mixer and beat on medium speed for about 1 minute, till smooth. Add in the egg and molasses and mix on low speed for about 30 seconds, till blended thoroughly.
- Stop the mixer and scrape the bowl during this time.
- On low speed, add in the flour mix and beat till all the flour is incorporated and the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl.
- For each cookie, roll 2 Tbsp. of dough between the palms of your hands into a 1 1/2 inch ball. Roll each ball in the remaining 1/4 c. of sugar to coat.
- Place balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake one baking sheet at a time, about 17 min, reversing sheet after 8 min. The cookies will flatten toward the end of their baking time and the tops will have cracks when they are done. Bake the second pan of cookies.
- Cold the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 min, then transfer them to wire racks to cold completely.
