Makes 4 dozen (or 28, if you make them like me)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix the brown sugar, shortening, egg and molasses in a mixer using the paddle attachment until combined. Add the remaining ingredients except the granulated sugar. Mix to combine.
Using a small cookie scoop for uniformity, shape the dough into balls. Dip the tops, only, into the granulated sugar. Place on a greased cookie sheet about 3 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until just set. You don't want to overcook these cookies.
Remove immediately from the cookie sheet to cool.
