oatmeal molassas cookies

1½ cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp ginger
¼ tsp cloves ½ cup shortening
1 egg
¼ cup molassas
¾ cup oats

1. Preheat oven to 375°
2. Mix dry ingredients together
3. Add the other stuff to the dry stuff – use your KitchenAid mixer if you’ve got one. They’re the best.

Yes, I know shortening is naughty but it works the best. Ask your grandma.
