In a medium mixing bowl stir together the flour, ginger, soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl beat shortening until softened. Gradually add the 2 cups granulated sugar, beat until fluffy. Add eggs and molasses, beat well. Add half the flour mixture, beat until combined. Stir the remaining flour mixture in with a wooden spoon.

Using a 1/4 cup ice cream scoop, shape dough into 2-inch balls. Roll in coarse sugar or granulated sugar. Place on ungreased cookie sheet about 2 1/2 inches apart.

Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes or until cookies are light brown and puffed. Do not overbake or cookies will not be chewy. Let stand for 2 minutes before transferring to wire rack. Cool. Makes 25 four inch cookies.
