Molasses Crinkles

By patticakes

This is another cookie where recipes abound. I like this one and have tried lots of others. I copied it from my Mom’s book. I don’t know where she got this version.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup molasses
• 2 1/2 cup flour
• 2 tsp soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp cloves
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp ginger

Preparation

Step 1

Cream butter and sugar. Add egg and molasses. Mix dry ingredients together, then add slowly to butter mixture. Don’t over beat. Chill dough. Roll into one inch balls and roll into sugar.
Bake at 375° for 10 to 12 minutes.
