Ginger Bears Recipes

Ingredients :

3/4 cup shortening

1 cup dark brown sugar

1/4 cup molasses

1 egg

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour

2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp ground cloves

granulated sugar

Method :

Preheat oven to 350F. Cream together the shortening, brown sugar, molasses and egg. Sift the rest of the ingredients together (except the granulated sugar) and stir them into the molasses mixture.

Form the dough into 3 sizes of balls, to create body (large ball), head (medium ball), and ears, arms, and legs (small balls). Roll the balls in granulated sugar. Put figures together on greased baking sheets, allowing 2 inches between them. Bake approximately 12 minutes, until springy to the touch.

These chewy, spicy cookies are all time nursery favorites.
