Time 1h

Yield 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup margarine
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon clove
1 teaspoon ginger
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Put margarine, brown sugar, molasses, egg, flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, clove, and ginger into mixing bowl and mix.
  • Roll into walnut size balls.
  • Put about 1/2 cup of regular sugar in cereal size bowl, and 1/2 cup water in ramekin size dish.
  • Roll dough ball in sugar.
  • Place wide apart on slightly greased cookie sheet; dip a glass into water and flatten the cookie.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes, or until done to your family's preferences.
  • NOTE: If it is a dark cookie sheet it will take less time than on a brand new shiny sheet; and if they sit on the hot sheet after removing from oven they will harden even more. Some like these cookies hard but I do not.
