Cream shortening; gradually add 1 cup sugar, beating at
medium speed of an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Add egg and molasses; mix well. Combine flour, soda, salt,
and spices; mix well. Add about one-fourth of dry mixture
at a time to creamed mixture, mixing until smooth after
each addition. Chill dough at least 1 hour. Shape dough
into 1-inch balls, and roll in sugar. Place 2 inches
apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for
10 minutes. (Tops will crack.) Cool on wire racks.
