Chewy Molasses Cookies

1 1/2 cups of shortening (I used butter flavored Crisco sticks)
2 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
3/4 cup of dark molasses
4 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons ginger
1 teaspoon ground cloves
some finely grated ginger (this is an addition from Michelle’s mother, so there isn’t an exact amount, I would say I added about a teaspoon, and the cookies were very gingery)
Turbinado sugar (enough for rolling)
