2½ cups shortening
3 cups sugar
3 eggs 
¾ cup molasses
6 cups flour
1½  tsp salt
3 tsp cinnamon 
3 tsp ginger
3 tsp cloves
3 Tbsp baking soda
Beat shortening until fluffy.  Add sugar, eggs, and molasses; mix well.  Stir in remaining ingredients.  Roll spoonfuls of dough into balls.  Flatten slightly  with fingers.  Sprinkle with sugar.  Bake at 350˚ for 8-10 minutes.  Don’t over-bake or they won’t be soft.
