Chewy Cranberry Gingers

I love this cookie! From Pillsbury's Bakeoff Cookie book.

• Ready In: 27 mins
• Yields: 60 cookies

Ingredients

• 2 1⁄3 cups flour
• 2  teaspoons baking soda
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1  teaspoon cinnamon
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ginger
• 1  cup sugar (plus more for coating)
• 3⁄4 cup shortening
• 1  egg
• 1⁄4 cup molasses
• 1⁄2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce

Directions

1. Combine everything except cranberry sauce. Blend well.
2. Stir in cranberries, mixing thoroughly.
3. Chill dough at least one hour.
4. Shape into balls. Coat with additional sugar. Put on ungreased cookie sheets.
5. Bake at 375 for 12-15 min; watch them because time will depend on the size. Recipe calls for a "rounded teaspoon". I usually make my cookies bigger than that.
6. When done, remove from cookie sheet immediately.
