Molasses Sugar Cookies (Robin)

Molasses Sugar Cookies
¾ cup margarine or combination Crisco/marg.
1 cup sugar ¼ cup molasses
½ tsp. Cloves ½ tsp. Ginger
1 tsp. Cinnamon 2 tsp. Baking soda
½ tsp. Salt 1 egg
2 cups flour

Beat softened margarine, sugar, molasses, spices and egg well. Add flour. Mix. Chill in refrigerator or freezer. Roll into one inch balls, roll balls in granulated sugar. Place 2in. apart on cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes. Do not overbake—cookies will flatten and harden as they cool. (using parchment paper on cookie sheets works really well, otherwise cookies can stick some) Note: For holiday look roll in red or green sugar.
