Instructions: Sift flour again with the salt, soda and spices. Thoroughly cream together the shortening, brown sugar and mint extract. Beat in the egg until light and fluffy. Add molasses; mix well. Mix in dry ingredients until well blended. Chill at least 2 hours.

Shape into balls the size of walnuts. Roll in granulated sugar, and place 2" apart on a greased cookie sheet. Bake in a 350` oven until crisp and browned, about 15 minutes.

Makes about 4 dozen cookies. Wis/Gramma
