1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup vegetable shortening

1 teaspoon powdered ginger
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 2. Cream the butter, shortening,
brown sugar, molasses, and egg until light and fluffy. 3. Sift together
the dry ingredients; combine both mixtures. 4. Form the dough into
walnut-size balls. With floured fingers, press the balls into flat

golden brown. 6. Remove the gingersnaps from the cookie sheet as soon as
they are cool and seal in a covered container to preserve their crunch.
