Mom'S Gingersnaps - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons ginger
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon clove
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter or 3/4 cup margarine
3/4 cup white sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 cup sugar (separate for rolling cookies in)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
Combine dry ingredients and set aside.
In a large bowl beat butter till soft, gradually add sugar.
Beat in egg and molasses.
Stir in flour mixture.
Roll into balls, then roll in sugar.
Bake 10- 12 minutes.
Cooking time depends on the size of cookie.
I have small children so I make them quite small and the baking time decreases.
The yield is not correct- It depends on the size of the cookie- I do not know the amount it will make?
