Ingredients
-
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ginger
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon clove
1/4 teaspoon salt
Preparation
-
Cream butter and sugar together; stir in egg, molasses and vanilla; combine and gradually add dry ingredients (add a couple more tablespoons flour if your dough seems too soft) then stir until completely mixed.
Roll dough into 1 1/4\" balls; roll each ball of dough in granulated sugar and place on a greased baking sheet.
For soft & chewy cookies, bake at 375\u00b0 for 8 minutes or just until edges start to turn golden-brown; for crisper cookies, bake for up to 10 minutes; allow cookies to remain on baking sheet for a couple minutes after they come out of the oven; remove cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.
