Ingredients 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • ¼ cup molasses
  • 2 tablespoon white sugar for rolling

Instructions 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, then stir in the water and molasses. Gradually stir the sifted ingredients into the molasses mixture. Shape dough into walnut sized balls, and roll them in the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar.
