Prep Time: 1 hour 15 minutes (ready in 3 hours 15 minutes) - Yield: 5 dozen cookies
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup molasses
1/4 cup warm coffee
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon salt
Sugar
1. In large bowl, combine 3/4 cup sugar and shortening; beat until light and fluffy. Add molasses, coffee, vanilla and egg; blend well. (Mixture may appear curdled.) Add flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, allspice and salt; mix well. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 2 hours for easier handling.
2. Heat oven to 350°F. On well-floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8 to 1/4-inch thickness.* Cut with floured 2-inch cookie cutter. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Sprinkle lightly with sugar.
3. Bake at 350°F. for 8 to 12 minutes or until set. Immediately remove from cookie sheets.
TIP: * Rolling dough 1/8 inch thick will yield a thin, crisp cookie; rolling to 1/4-inch thickness will yield a more cakelike cookie.
