Here are the recipes I promised to post (I'm just a little slow at getting them posted!):

The Soft Gingersnap Recipe, aka, Judge's Gingersnaps:

Cream until light and fluffy:
- 1 C sugar
- 1 egg
- 3/4 C shortening

Add:
- 1/4 C dark molasses

Mix together and add to the creamed mixture:
- 2 C flour
- 2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. cloves
- 1 tsp. ginger
- 1/2 tsp. salt

For best results, chill dough overnight. Roll into balls approximately 1" in diameter. Roll the balls in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Bake on a ungreased cookie sheet at 375 degrees for 7-10 minutes, depending on your oven. Take cookies out of the oven when they just start to turn golden brown. Do not let them turn brown or you will have hockey pucks!
