Ginger Cookies
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
1/2 cup softened butter
1 cup brown or white sugar (I use brown)
1 cup molasses
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1 and 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon
4 teaspoons ginger
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups flour
Cream butter and sugar in a mixer. (Use a mixer - this is really really hard to mix up by hand.) Next add the molasses and mix. Throw in the spices and then add the flour.
Make small balls of dough and roll them in sugar. You can just bake them without rolling them in the sugar, but my husband says they are much better with it. I use turbinado or raw sugar because the crystals are bigger and I like the crunch they add to the cookie.

Yum! --M
These cookies were absolutely delicious, Liz. I was a little bit sceptical about them when they didn't call for eggs (as you were) but they turned out so well and were gone within about two hours. By the way, thanks for sending me the link for your blog.... It makes me not miss "home" quite as much. A+ recipe!
