Winter's Best Ginger Snaps

2 cups turbinado sugar
3/4 margarine
3/4 cup oil
2 eggs
1/2 cup light molasses
4 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp cloves
2-4 tsp ginger
3/4 cups turbinado sugar

Cream sugar and shortenings.  Mix in eggs and molasses.  Add dry
ingredients and mix thoroughly.  Dough is very soft-an hour in the
refrigerator makes it easier to handle.  Roll dough into walnut sized
balls and roll each ball in sugar.  Place on greased baking sheet 2 
inches apart.  Bake in 375 preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes.

substitution.
