This is my all time favorite cookie. It isn't especially pretty, I have actually had people turn their noses up to it, but it is rich and spicy, and fun to make with children.

- Grease hands with shortening, and roll 1 Tb. of dough between hands to form into small balls.
- Bake on a cookie sheet in hot oven for 20 minutes.
