"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

1. Cream the shortening and the brown sugar. Stir in the egg and molasses and mix well.

2. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, cloves, cinnamon, and ginger. Add the flour mixture to the shortening mixture and mix well

3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets or use silicon baking mats (I use baking mats).

4. Roll dough into balls the size of large walnuts. Roll balls in sugar and place 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool for one minute before transferring to a wire rack to continue cooling.

5. Sprinkle with sugar once more while warm for decoration.

They are so easy, and turn out perfect every time J
