Number Of Ingredients 9

⅔ cup packed brown sugar
⅔ cup molasses
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cloves
¾ tablespoon baking soda
⅔ cup butter
1 egg
3 ½ cups sifted all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Place butter in a large, heatproof bowl. In a medium saucepan, heat brown sugar, molasses and spices just to boiling point. Add baking soda and stir in. Pour this mixture over the butter and stir until it melts.
  • Beat egg and mix in; add flour, a cup at a time, and blend thoroughly. Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead 1-2 minutes. Wrap in waxed paper and chill until firm (about an hour).
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (170 degrees C).
  • Roll out to approximately 1/8 inch thickness on a lightly floured board and cut into desired shapes. Place on greased baking sheets and bake for 8 - 10 minutes.
  • Remove from sheets and cool on racks; may be decorated with piped icing or whatever else you like!

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I will try adding a little more butter to the dough next time.
