List of Ingredients




2 1/4 c All-purpose flour, sifted
-before measuring
2 ts Baking soda
1 ts Ground cloves
1 ts Ground ginger
1 ts Ground cinnamon
1 ts Ground salt
3/4 c Unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 c Sugar
1 Egg
1/4 c molasses


Recipe



1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Have ungreased baking sheet(s) ready.
Sift together the flour, baking soda, spices and salt; set aside.

2. Beat the butter and 1 cup of the granulated sugar in large bowl
of an electric mixer on high speed until light, 1 minute. Add the egg
and molasses; mix well. Stop the mixer and add the flour mixture.
Mix just until combined.

3. Using about 1 1/2 teaspoons dough for each, roll dough into
balls. Roll in the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar so they are
fully coated. Arrange on baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
If you prefer a thin, crisp cookie, they may be flattened with a
glass that has been dipped in sugar.

4. Bake until set, 9 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let
cool.
