Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
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.
