These cookies made my house smell amazing while they were baking! They are perfectly spiced and delicious. My guys gobbled them up almost as fast as they came out of the oven.
Ginger Cookies
3/4 cup butter, softened ( 1-1/2 sticks)
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup molasses
2-1/4 cups all purpose flour
2 tsps. ground ginger
1 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/4 tsp. salt
Additional sugar
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and molasses. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt. Gradually add to creamed mixture and combine. Roll into 1-1/2 inch balls, then roll the balls in the additional sugar. Place two inches apart on ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes until puffy and lightly browned. Col on wire racks. Makes around 1-1/2 dozen cookies.
