3/4 cup margarine
2 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup molasses, light or dark
4 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 tablespoons ginger
1/2 cup granulated sugar

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Cover a cookie sheet with foil.

Cream Crisco, margarine and the 2 cups sugar. Mix eggs and molasses.

Add flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and ginger. If dough is too soft, chill before spooning out.
