Mom's Molasses Cookies

This recipe comes from my mother in law.  My husband loves these cookies.  I have never been a big molasses fan, but I have to say, over the years these cookies have grown on me.  I may have eaten as many as my husband this past Christmas!

Mom's Molasses Cookies
3/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg beaten
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
(extra sugar for rolling balls)

Melt unsalted butter in large saucepan.  Let cool.  Add sugar, molasses and egg.  Mix well.  Combine flour, baking soda, salt & spices.  Add to creamed mixture by hand slowly, a bit at a time.  Mix well.  Shape into 1 inch balls and roll in sugar.  Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.  Makes 2 dozen.

    Thank you - just putting the last batch in the oven and the first cookie in my mouth - they are delicious! Thank you for sharing! And I just have my flour that I grind, and they are perfect even with that substitute:)
