Gingersnaps with a Hershey kiss

 

These are one of my dad's favorite cookies.  I think the recipe originally came from Michelle Wood and my dad loves them with a Hershey kiss on top of them.  I like them plain and with the chocolate kiss.

Easy recipe and makes a lot so it's fun to share.

3 cups sugar

2 1/4 cups shortening

3/4 cup molasses (dark green label)

cream above

add 3 eggs

6 cups flour  with the spices/etc. below (Gradually)

1 tsp. salt

1 Tablespoon Cinnamon

1 Tablespoon Cloves

1 Tablespoon Ginger

2 Tablespoon baking soda

roll in a ball (I use a medium cookie scoop) and then roll into sugar

medium scoop yields 6 dozen cookies

Do not grease the pan

Bake 350 for 8-10 min.

When they get the lines in them take them out.

Something extra add the Hershey kiss on top (1 store package tops most unwrapped)

Enjoy hot out of the oven or days later they are a yummy fall cookie treat.
