A spicy molasses cookie that tastes great with a glass of ice cold milk (or just dipped into a cup of hot coffee).
Ingredients:
3/4 cup melted butter
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
2 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon clove
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
granulated sugar
Directions:
1. In mixing bowl, cream together butter, sugar, molasses and egg. Sift together flour, baking soda, spices and stir them into creamed mixture. Place in refrigerator for 1/2 to 3/4 of an hour to cool dough.
2. Scoop dough up by the teaspoonful, roll into little balls, and roll balls in granulated sugar.
3. Place them on greased baking sheets 2 inches apart to accommodate spreading.
4. Bake at 350F for 12 minutes, or until cookies are flat. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing from sheets.
