Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. 
2. Cream together the sugars, shortening, molasses, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
3. In another large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, baking soda, baking powder, ginger, salt, cinnamon, and cloves.
4. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring while you add it. If the dough is too sticky and loose, add another 2 tablespoons of flour. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
5. Roll a portion of the dough out on a heavily floured surface. Roll to under 1/4-inch thick. Cut the cookies using a man-shaped cookie cutter, or any other cookie cutter shape you've got in the drawer.
6. Place the cookies on a greased cookie sheet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes. Bake only one cookie sheet of cookies at a time.
