2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup margarine, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
1/4 cup molasses
2 tablespoons white sugarRecipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the
flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Set
aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and 1 cup sugar
until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, then stir in the water
and molasses. Gradually stir the sifted ingredients into the
molasses mixture. Shape dough into walnut sized balls, and roll
them in the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar. Place the cookies 2
inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet, and flatten
slightly.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to
cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack
to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
