Everyone in my family loves these. Dad keeps asking me to make them and send them over. Great ginger and molasses flavour.

Time 20m

Yield 53 1 inch cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

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)

Steps:

  • 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?
