 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
      1/4  cup           butter
      1/2  cup           vegetable shortening
    1      cup           packed brown sugar
      1/4  cup           molasses
    1                    egg
    2 1/4  cups          all-purpose flour -- sifted
    2      teaspoons     baking soda
      1/2  teaspoon      salt
    1      teaspoon      powdered ginger
    2      teaspoons     ground cinnamon
      1/2  teaspoon      ground cloves
 
 1.  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 2.  Cream the butter, shortening,
 brown sugar, molasses, and egg until  light and fluffy. 3.  Sift together
 the dry ingredients;  combine both mixtures. 4.  Form the dough into
 walnut-size balls.  With floured fingers, press  the balls into flat
 circles on an ungreased cookie sheet. 5.  Bake for 8 minutes, or until
 golden brown. 6.  Remove the gingersnaps from the cookie sheet as soon as
 they are cool  and seal in a covered container to preserve their crunch.
 Makes 4 dozen.
