Ingredients:
1/2 C margarine1/2 C shortening 1 C sugar 1/2 C brown sugar (firmly packed) 1 egg 1/4 C light molasses 3 1/2 C Gold Medal flour 2 tsp baking soda 2 tsp cinammon (I put in about 4 tsp) 1 tsp ginger (I put in about 2 tsp) 1/2 tsp cloves (I use about 3/4 - 1 tsp)
Directions:
Thoroughly cream the first six ingredients. Sift together the flour, soda, and spices. Stir into the sugar mixture. Wrap dough in plastic and chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours. Roll out dough to desired thickness (thicker dough makes softer cookies) and cut out desired shapes. Bake at 350-375 for 7-8 minutes.I like softer cookies too, so I always roll out the dough about 1/4" thick. I've also found that if you stick a piece of bread (it doesn't matter what kind) into your cookie jar, that'll help keep the cookies soft after they've cooled. Good luck!
