3/4 Cup of Shortening (I subbed Unsalted Butter) 1 Cup of Brown Sugar 1 Egg 1/4 Cup of Molasses 21/4 Cups of Flour 2 tsp Baking Soda 1/8 tsp Salt 1 tsp of Cinnamon 1 tsp of Ginger 1/2 tsp of Cloves Sugar for Dipping 1/2 Cup of Powdered Sugar 1 tsp of Vanilla 1 Tbsp of Milk

First up, cream together your shortening/butter and brown sugar. Next, add in the molasses, egg, flour, baking soda, salt, and spice. Mix it up good. Take a small bowl and add in about a 1/4 cup of white sugar to it. Grab your dough by heaping teaspoons and roll it into a ball. Roll your ball in the white sugar, set it on your cookie sheet and smoosh it down with a fork. Repeat for the rest of the dough. Pop your cookies in the oven at 350 for 9 to 11 minutes. While your cookies are cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk. Spoon the glaze over each cookie and allow it to harden.
