Ingredients
- 1½ cups shortening
- 2 cups granulated white sugar
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated nutmeg ((or 1 tablespoon ground nutmeg))
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup molasses
- 4½ cups all purpose flour
- ⅓ cup granulated white sugar
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg ((or ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg))
Steps
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
-
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the shortening, sugar, nutmeg, baking soda, cinnamon and salt, beating until well combined. Beat in the eggs and molasses.
-
Add in the flour a little at a time. If it becomes too tough to beat with the mixer, you can use a wooden spoon to beat in the rest.
-
In a small bowl, stir together the sugar and nutmeg.
-
Shape dough into 1½ inch balls. Roll balls in the sugar mixture. Place balls 2½ inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
-
Bake for 10 to 13 minutes or until tops are cracked and edges are firm. Cool on baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
