Ellie's Molasses Cookies

 
Dalita brought some super delicious molasses cookies to the Ice Cream Social.  So delicious there weren't any left to take home. YUM!

 

Ellie's Molasses Cookies

3/4 C butter
1 1/4 C granulated sugar
1/4 molasses
1 egg
2 C all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
pinch of salt

Melt butter in 3 cup saucepan. (I don't melt the butter.) Remove from heat and allow to cool. 


 Add 1 cup sugar, molasses, and egg.  Beat well.  Sift flour and spices.  Add to butter and mix well.  Chill in pan for 2 hours or overnight. 


Roll into a ball (1 tsp.) and coat with sugar.  Flatten with bottom of a glass coated with sugar.  Bake 8 - 10 minutes at 350 degrees.  Makes 72 cookies.
