Main Ingredients
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.75 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup butter softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 0.25 cup molasses

Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, then stir in the water and molasses.
- Gradually stir the sifted ingredients into the molasses mixture. Shape dough into walnut-sized balls, and roll them in the remaining sugar. Place the cookies 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets, and flatten slightly.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
