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) Michelle Peetz harpo!mmp
