Nettie'S Molasses Gingersnaps - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 cup margarine
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon clove
1 teaspoon ginger
For rolling balls in before baking
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup water

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Put margarine, brown sugar, molasses, egg, flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, clove, and ginger into mixing bowl and mix.
Roll into walnut size balls.
Put about 1/2 cup of regular sugar in cereal size bowl, and 1/2 cup water in ramekin size dish.
Roll dough ball in sugar.
Place wide apart on slightly greased cookie sheet; dip a glass into water and flatten the cookie.
Bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes, or until done to your family's preferences.
NOTE: If it is a dark cookie sheet it will take less time than on a brand new shiny sheet; and if they sit on the hot sheet after removing from oven they will harden even more. Some like these cookies hard but I do not.
