Molasses Cookies

I got this recipe from my friend Julie Ross, she is an excellent cook!! She dipped the tips of the cookie in white almond bark at christmas time...looks like snow.

3/4 cup shortening (I use 1/2 Crisco and 1/2 margarine)
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
2 tsp. baking soda
2-1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. cloves
1/2 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt

Melt shortening-let cool. Add in sugar, molasses, and egg-beat well. Mix dries together and add to molasses mixture. Chill for at least 1 hour. Roll into 1" balls-roll balls in sugar and place 2" apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes or until done. Remove from cookie sheet and cool on wire rack.
