- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Additional sugar
Directions
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and molasses. Combine the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well.
- Roll into 1-1/2-in. balls, then roll in sugar. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until puffy and lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.
- Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
- The only real change I made was to add about 1/3 cup (or maybe a little more) of chopped ginger root left over from this recipe. (Yes, it has been in my freezer since 11-10 and it's still delicious!) Because of that, I reduced the powdered ginger to 1 tsp.
