MOLASSES SUGAR COOKIES (GINGER COOKIES)

3/4 c. butter
1   c. sugar
1      egg
1/4 c. molasses
1/2 t. ginger
1/2 t. nutmeg
1   t. cinnamon
1/2 t. cloves
1/2 t. salt
2   t. baking soda
2   c. flour

Cream butter and sugar.  Add egg, beat well.   Add molasses, spices, salt, and
baking soda.  Add flour and mix only until blended.  Chill dough several
hours.  Roll teaspoonsful of dough into 1-inch balls, roll in sugar.
Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes.

I usually double this recipe because one is never enough! (a double
batch makes about 5 or 6 dozen cookies)
