Title: Nabisco Old Fashioned Ginger Snaps
Categories: Cookies, Copycat
Yield: 120 Cookies

1 c Dark brown sugar; packed
3/4 c Sugar
1/4 c Molasses
1/4 c Shortening
1 tb Butter; softened
1 Egg
1/2 ts Vanilla
2 1/2 c All-purpose flour
2 ts Baking soda
2 ts Ground ginger
1 ts Salt
1 ts Ground cinnamon
1/2 ts Ground cloves
1/4 c Water

Nabisco's version of this old favorite cookie may not be as big a
seller as its much-cloned Oreo. Heck, it's not even close. But if
you're a ginger snap fanatic, this recipe will give you a killer
clone of the cookie giant's store-bought version that you can whip up
in a... uh... snap. And if you're watching the fat, four of these
cookies check in with a total of around 2.5 g fat.

Preheat oven to 350?F.

Cream together the sugars, molasses, shortening, butter, egg, and
vanilla in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth.

In another large bowl combine the flour, baking soda, ginger, salt,
cinnamon, and cloves.

Pour the dry mixture into the wet mixture and beat while adding the
water. Continue to mix until ingredients are incorporated.

Measure a heaping teaspoon of dough at time. Roll the dough into a
sphere between the palms of your hands then press the dough onto the
cookie. Flatten to about 1/8" thick.

Bake cookies for 10 to 14 minutes or until edges begin to brown and
cookies are crispy when cool.
