Equipment
- Stand Up Mixer
- Baking Sheets
- Oven
Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Vegetable Shortening
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
- ½ cup Molasses
Dry Ingredients
- 3 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 Tablespoon Baking Soda
- 1 Tablespoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
For Rolling the Dough
- ⅓ cup Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F.
- In the bowl of your stand up mixer cream together the shortening and brown sugar. Then add the vanilla extract.
- Slowly pour in the molasses a bit at a time so it combines smoothly.
- Now dump in all the dry ingredients and mix into wet until just combined.
- Grab a bowl and put the sugar in it for rolling.
- Take a heaping tablespoon of dough out of the mixing bowl and roll it into a ball using your hands.
- Gently roll the ball in the sugar and place on your baking sheet. The balls can be decently close together because they don't flatten out a lot. (see pictures below)
- Bake in the preheated oven for 11 minutes.
- Let cool on your baking tray for 5 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack.
- Enjoy!
