Get Warm and Fuzzy!

Gingersnaps

1 stick butter

1 cup light brown sugar

1/4 cup molasses

1 egg

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 tablespoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pinch of ground cloves

1/2 cup granulated sugar

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and grease cookie sheets. Cream the butter with the brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the molasses and egg and beat until smooth. Sift the flour with baking soda, ginger, cinnamon and cloves. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat until well blended. Pinch off a little of the dough and roll it into 1-inch balls (dough may be very moist, if so, dip hands in warm water before forming balls). Dip each ball into the granulated sugar and arrange sugar side up on prepared baking sheet approximately 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until cracked on top.
