Molasses Cookies

This recipe I got from my mother-in-law. These are my hubby's absolute FAVORITE cookies! Super easy to make and absolutely delicious! (similar to a gingerbread cookie)

Molasses Cookies

3/4 Cup Butter/Margarine
4 Tbs. Molasses
1 Egg
1 Cup Sugar
2 Cups Flour
1/2 Tsp Cloves (can reduce if desired)
1 Tsp Ginger
2 Tsp Cinnamon

Cream molasses, egg,  butter/margarine, and sugar. Sift flour, cloves, ginger,and cinnamon. Add dry ingredients slowly to creamed mixture. Depending on dough consistency, add more flour (1-2 Tbs at a time), until you get dough so it doesn't stick to your fingers. Roll into balls, and then roll into cinnamon/sugar. Bake at 375 for about 10 minutes (depending on oven, may need 400)
