Gingersnaps

There was a time, long long ago, when I had a crush on this guy I knew; so I made him cookies, lots of different kinds of cookies, almost every week. Never 'got the guy' but I did learn a lot about cookies!

3/4 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
2 and 1/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
granulated sugar

Cream together butter, sugar, molasses and the egg until fluffy. Mix together all dry ingredients; stir into the butter mixture. Shape into small balls and roll them in the granulated sugar. Place two inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes. Cool slightly before removing from the cookie sheet. Makes about five dozen.
