Ingredients

3/4 cup margarine

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1/4 cup molasses

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground cloves

1 teaspoon ground ginger

Preparation

Cream together the room tempurature margarine, sugar, egg and molasses. I use an electric mixer to get a smooth base. Add in the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and ginger and mix with the electric mixer. Once it gets too hard for the mixer, mix with your hands to make a nice dough. Take 1 teaspoon of the dough and roll it into a ball, then roll the ball in sugar. Set the sugared dough balls on a cookie sheet. Bake the cookie sheet for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees.
