Ingredients

60 servings

•

1.5 cups shortening
•

2 cups white sugar
•

2 eggs
•

2 tablespoons vanilla extract
•

0.5 cup light molasses
•

4 cups all-purpose flour

•

4 teaspoons baking soda
•

2 teaspoons salt
•

2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
•

2 teaspoons ground ginger
•

1 (10 ounce) package HERSHEY®'S Cinnamon Chips
•

1 cup white sugar for decoration

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees F).
In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and 2 cups sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and molasses. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and ginger; stir into the sugar mixture until well blended. Mix in cinnamon chips. Dough will be stiff. Roll into walnut sized balls and roll each ball in remaining sugar. Place cookies 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet and flatten slightly.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until tops are crackled. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
