Step 1: In a medium bowl, mix the 2 cups of sugar and oil. Add the eggs one at a time mixing after each. Stir in the molasses.
Step 2: In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and salt. Slowly add to the wet mixture and stir well.
Step 3: Shape the dough into 3/4 inch balls and roll them in the 1/2 cup of sugar. Place the balls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
Step 4: Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookie springs back when lightly touched.
Step 5: Cool completely on wire racks.
Step 6: Melt the white chocolate chips with the shortening in a small pan over low heat. Or you can do this step in the microwave in 30 second increments. Be sure to stir well each time you check it. Dip half of each cookie into the mixture, shaking off the extra drops.
Step 7: Place on waxed paper to harden. Makes 14 dozen.
