Preheat oven to 350. Sift the flour, ginger, baking
soda, cinnamon, and salt into a mixing bowl. Stir
the mixture to blend evenly, and sift a second time
into another bowl.
Place the shortening into a mixing bowl and beat
until creamy. Gradually beat in the white sugar.
Beat in the egg, and dark molasses. Sift 1/3 of
the flour mixture into the shortening mixture;
stir to thoroughly blend. Sift in the remaining
flour mixture, and mix together until a soft dough
forms. Pinch off small amounts of dough and roll
into 1 inch diameter balls between your hands.
Roll each ball in cinnamon sugar, and place 2
inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake in preheated oven until the tops are rounded
and slightly cracked, about 10 minutes. Cool cookies
on a wire rack. Store in an air tight container.
