Ingredients 3/4 cup shortening  1 cup sugar, plus extra for rolling the cookies  1 unbeaten egg  1/4 cup honey  2 cups flour  1 tsp cinnamon  2 tsp baking soda  1/2 tsp salt  Directions  Preheat oven to 350.

Roll in granulated sugar. Drop on ungreased cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Do not flatten balls. They flatten as they bake.
