Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment
Whisk flour, baking soda and all of the spices together.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat sugar, shortening and butter together until fluffy.
Add in the egg and then the molasses. Mix until well combined
Add in the dry ingredients and mix on low speed just until combined.
Fill small shallow bowl with raw sugar. Using a 2 tbsp cookie scoop drop balls of dough into the sugar to coat. Place on prepared sheet. Place dough balls 2 inches apart.
Bake cookies until golden and dry-looking, about 12-14 minutes- rotating sheets half way through baking time.
Cool on sheets and then transfer to cooling rack.
