I am looking for a recipe I used to have for Mollases Ginger cookies. They were made with shortening and were rolled in sugar & they were soft. Can anyone help me? Thank you

Triple-Ginger Cookies
2 cups FLOUR
2 tsp POWDERED GINGER
2 tsp BAKING SODA
1 tsp CINNAMON
1 tsp CLOVES
½ tsp SALT
1 cup BROWN SUGAR, packed
½ cup SHORTENING
¼ cup BUTTER, softened
1 EGG
¼ cup MOLASSES
½ tsp VANILLA
½ cup CRYSTALLIZED GINGER, finely chopped
1 Tbsp FRESH GINGER, grated
SUGAR
Combine flour, ginger, soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt in a bowl. Cream brown sugar, shortening and butter until fluffy.
Add egg, molasses and vanilla. Beat until blended. Mix in flour mixture. Gently stir in crystallized ginger and fresh ginger. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
Shape dough into 1 inch balls, roll balls in sugar and place 2 inches apart on lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake 350º F for 12 to 14 minutes or until cookies are cracked on top. Cookies will be soft to touch; do not over bake.
Cool on cookie sheets for a minute and transfer to racks. Store in tightly sealed container up to several days or freeze. Yields 4 dozen.

I'm thinking this is the one (& the one I use) - it's an old BHG recipe
