ginger goodness

 

{this is a repost from 11/14/10, i just pulled a batch out of the oven. yum.}

my friend recommended i make these little circles of goodness.

they were gone seconds after coming out of the oven.

i could practically eat a whole batch by myself.

to think something could be so delicious and not be laced with chocolate?

you must try them for yourself.

1/2 cup butter

1/4 cup crisco

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

preheat oven to 375 degrees. cream butter, shortening, and sugar. add remaining ingredients. roll dough into balls and coat with coarse sugar (a must!). bake for about 8 to 9 minutes.
