My good friend Mardi made these during our Operation Baking Girls 'baking day', to ship overseas to our chosen soldier. These are very tasty, remind me of ginger snaps somewhat. Thin and crispy, perfect for fall and winter baking.

- Add egg and molasses, beating until combined.
- Reduce speed to low, then mix in flour mixture (1 cup at a time, scrape down) until combined.
