2 1/4 cup flour
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup butter or margarine softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 TBS water
1/4 molasses
2 TBS sugar
Preheat oven to 350 F. Sift together flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
In large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and then stir in water and molasses. Slowly stir in the dry ingredients into the molasses mixture. Shape dough into balls and roll in the 2TBS of sugar. Put on cookie sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 min before moving to wire rack to cool the rest of the way. That is key.
These cookies are fabulous and are soft and chewy. Sooo yummy. Not too strong either. Enjoy!
