My friend Debbie is an amazing cook, and she shared this recipe at a cookie exchange a few years ago. I decided to make these and jar these up....I love everything ginger and they fit snuggly in mason jars, another love of mine.
Ingredients: 1 1/2 c. (softened) butter, 2 c. packed brown sugar, 1/2 c. molasses, 2 eggs, 4 1/2 c. flour, 3 t. baking soda, 2 t. cinnamon, 2 t. ginger, 1/2 t. salt, 1/2 t. ground cloves, 1 c. of sugar set aside.
Instructions:
1. Cream together 1 1/2 c. softened butter, 2 c. packed brown sugar, 1/2 c. dark molasses, 2 eggs
2. Sift together 4 1/2 c. flour, 3 t. baking soda, 2 t. cinnamon, 2 t. ginger, 1/2 t. salt, 1/2 t. ground cloves.
3. Chill for 1 or or longer.
4. Roll into small balls (about 3/4 inch). Dip in sugar.
5. Bake 10-12 minutes at 350 on greased cookie sheet (don't underbake).
I am definitely going to try these as they are a favorite of my sister. She will be so surprised to have a jar in her stocking!
