3/4 c margarine, softened
1/4 c molasses
1 egg
2 c all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground ginger

  • Roll the dough out to a thickness of 1/8 inch: This will ensure that the cookies are crispy and not too thick.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven: This will help them bake evenly and prevent them from becoming too soft.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help them keep their crispy texture.
