1 cup sugar
1/3 cup molasses
1 beaten egg
Cream above ingredients until smooth
Add dry ingredients:
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp cloves
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
After all ingredients are mixed together well, refriderate for 3 hours or more. Then roll into balls, the size of large walnuts. Next roll balls into granulated sugar and flatten with glass on cookie sheet.
