1. Preheat oven to 375°F. 2. Combine molasses and shortening in a small pan; heat, stirring constantly, just to boiling over medium heat. Remove immediately from heat and allow to cool. 3. Meanwhile, measure remaining ingredients into a large bowl. When molasses mixture has cooled, pour over flour mixture and mix well to combine. Chill dough for 10 minutes. 4. Shape into small (about quarter-sized) balls and arrange 2 inches apart on baking sheets. Flatten with bottom of a drinking glass or with fingers. 5. Bake until dry and crisp, about 8-10 minutes. Watch carefully as they may easily burn. 6. When done, place pan on cooling rack and cool cookies on baking sheet for 5 minutes. Remove from baking sheet to cooling rack and cool completely. 7. Once completely cooled, store in an airtight container. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
