Fabulously delicious ginger cookies for when you crave that taste and can't get your hands on a fresh baked Hermit Cookie from Sandy's ;-).
In a medium bowl stir together the first 6 ingredients and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl beat shortening on low speed for 30 seconds. Add sugar and beat until combined. Beat in the eggs and molasses until combined. Mix in the reserved flour and spice mixture until combined.
Now shape the dough into 2 inch balls, (or you can measure with a #20 ice cream scoop). Roll the balls in coarse sugar and place them 2-1/2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes or until cookies are light brown and puffed -- do not overbake!!
Cool on a cookie sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
