Gingersnap Cookies

Ingredients

3/4 cup butter, margarine, or shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Directions:

Cream butter; add sugar gradually. Beat until fluffy. Add egg and molasses; blend. Stir or sift together flour, soda, salt and spices; blend into butter mixture. Roll small portions of dough into balls; roll in granulated sugar. Place on ungreased baking sheet about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake 8 to 10 minutes at 350 degrees. They are done when they have melted and puffed (or if you like crispy cookies then wait until they have flattened).

Make it a great one!
