GINGERSNAPS


3/4 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses
2 cups flour
2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. cloves
approximately 1 cup white sugar (to roll dough in)

Cream butter and brown sugar.  And egg and molasses.  Beat well.  Stir
together dry ingredients (not including final cup white sugar).  Add
to wet ingredients, mix well.  Chill 4 or more hours.  Roll into small
balls, and roll in white sugar.  Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15
minutes.  Little shards of dough will remain in sugar; these can be
strained out and the sugar can be reused.
