Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Whisk the flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, cloves and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Beat the butter and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until well combined, about 3 minutes. Add the molasses and egg and beat until lighter in color, about 3 minutes. Add the flour mixture and mix on low until well blended.
- Using a tablespoon, form the dough into 1-inch balls and roll in sugar. Place each ball 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until golden and crackled, 12 to 15 minutes; the cookies will still be a little soft. Baking these in 3 batches one sheet at a time gets you the nice, crackly top. The second sheet of cookies can stay on the counter until ready to bake. Form the remaining dough, roll the balls in sugar and place on the now cooled first baking sheet. Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, and then remove to a rack to cool completely.

CHEWY MOLASSES COOKIES
This recipe has been handed down in our family since World War II and it remains a favorite with the grandkids today. Do not substitute anything for the melted shortening; your results will not be as good. If you prefer a crispier molasses cookie, bake one minute longer. These cookies freeze well (if you can keep your family from eating them up first!)

SOFT AND CHEWY MOLASSES SPICE COOKIES
Another great Cook's Illustrated cookie that is truly soft and chewy. Measure the molasses in a liquid measuring cup. If you find that the dough sticks to your palms as you shape the balls, moisten your hands occasionally in a bowl filled with cold water and shake off the excess. Bake the cookies one sheet at a time. If baked two sheets at a time, the cookies started on the bottom rack won't develop the attractive cracks. The cookies should look slightly raw and under baked when removed from the oven. If you plan to glaze the cookies save the parchment paper used to bake them.

Steps:
- Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Place 1/2 cup sugar for dipping in 8- or 9-inch cake pan.
- Whisk flour, baking soda, spices, and salt in medium bowl until thoroughly combined; set aside.

GRANDMA'S CHEWY MOLASSES COOKIES
These chewy cookies are what you remember from your childhood....soft inside, a fragrant spicy aroma, and a crinkle-top that is crusted with sugar. The only change I made from my Grandma's recipe was to get rid of the artery-clogging shortening. These cookies hold up well for shipping - I mail them to my kids who are in college.

Steps:
- Using a strong mixer, mix butter and sugar until sugar has aerated the butter and it is light and fluffy (5 minutes). Blend in molasses and egg gently.
- While butter/sugar is mixing, blend all dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Add to creamed mixture in thirds until fully blended (this is where the powerful mixer comes in handy!).
- Refrigerate 1 hour (which makes it easier to roll into balls).
- Form into balls a little smaller than a golf ball and roll in sugar. Place on parchment paper or greased sheet.
- Bake 350 degrees for 12-13 minutes (for 20 large cookies).
- Hint - When the cookies are done baking, they puff up in the center and crack, but wait until the inside of the crack turns from shiny dark brown (not cooked) to medium brown (done).

CHEWY GINGERBREAD MOLASSES COOKIES
These cookies are what Christmas tastes like! This recipe makes a fairly big batch, which is perfect for sharing with friends and guests. If you like thick chewy cookies, it will make about 48. If you like them smaller or thin, it would be most practical to make a half batch, or you'll be cutting out cookies for the whole day! The prep time listed is approximate because the time involved is proportionate to the size of your cookies. You can also prepare the dough ahead of time, freeze it, then bake them later.

This comes from Cooking Pleasures magazine. These use melted butter and brown sugar to make them chewy, crystallized ginger to add depth and have a quartet of spices especially for true spice lovers. The dough needs to refrigerate for 1 hour before baking, so keep that in mind. I included to refrigeration time in the cook time.

SOFT AND CHEWY MOLASSES GINGERDOODLE COOKIES
Steps:
- Cookies - To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or large mixing bowl and electric mixer) combine the butter, sugars, egg, and beat on medium-high speed until creamed and well combined, about 4 minutes. Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, cream of tartar, and beat on low speed until just combined, about 45 seconds. Using a medium 2-inch cookie scoop, form two tablespoon mounds (I made 20). Place mounds on a large plate or tray, cover with plasticwrap, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, up to 5 days. The dough is soft, mushy, limp, and isn't suitable for baking until it's been chilled. Do not bake with unchilled dough because cookies will bake thinner, flatter, and be more prone to spreading. Preheat oven to 350F, line baking sheets with Silpats, or spray with cooking spray; set aside. Cinnamon-Sugar Coating - Add sugar and cinnamon to a small bowl and stir to combine. Roll each mound of dough through the coating, liberally coating all sides. After all mounds have been coated, I like to go back and double-dip each mound to get an extra-thick coating. Place coated mounds on baking sheets, spaced at least 2 inches apart (I bake 8 cookies per sheet). Bake for about 8 to 9 minutes, or until edges have set and tops are have crackled; don't overbake for soft cookies (I bake mine 8 to 8 1/2 minutes and they're extremely soft and a touch underdone but firm up in time; for crispier cookies, bake longer). Cookies firm up as they cool. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for about 10 minutes before serving. I let them cool on the baking sheet and don't use a rack. Cookies will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 6 months. Alternatively, unbaked cookie dough can be st
