2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup margarine, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
1/4 cup molasses
2 tablespoons white sugar
Preheat oven to 350F. Sift together the flour, ginger, baking soda,
cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the
margarine 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 2 tablespoons of sugar. Place the cookies 2 inches apart onto an
ungreased cookie sheet, and flatten slightly. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in
the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes
