Ingredients:

  • 1 1/3 cups butter
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 4 cups flour
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 4 tsp cinnamon
  • 5 tsp ginger
  • 2 tsp ground cloves

Directions:

  1. Cream butter and sugar.
  2. Add egg and syrup and beat well. Instead of molasses, I use King Syrup. If it's not available where you live, it's a thick golden syrup.
  3. Mix together flour, salt, baking soda, and spices and add them to the butter mixture and mix well.
  4. Roll out 1/8 inch thick on slightly floured surface and cut into desired shapes.
  5. Sprinkle with colored sugar, if desired.
  6. Bake on slightly greased cookie sheet for 10 minutes at 350 degrees (Fahrenheit).
