Mix the egg, sugar, shortening, spices and molasses then stir in flour and
soda. Add more flour if dough seems too soft. (Working with the dough
chilled is a lot easier.) Form dough into small balls. Roll in sugar, but do
not flatten. Bake in a 350-375 degree oven for 10 - 12 min. Cookies will puff
up. Take out just before they start to flatten again. Frost with powdered
sugar frosting while still warm.
