3/4 cup butter or shortening
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp ground cloves
2 tsp ground cinnamon
Extra granulated sugar (to roll dough in)
1. Cream butter and sugar. Beat in egg and molasses.
2. Sift flour into mixture, add baking soda and spices. Stir by hand. The dough should be stiff; if not, put into refrigerator to chill.
3. Roll dough into 1 inch diameter balls. Roll the balls in sugar. Put balls on an ungreased cookie sheet, press flat with the bottom of a glass. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.
