- 2 tsp. ground ginger
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- ¾ tsp. ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp. ground cloves
- ¼ tsp. Salt
- ¾ cup margarine, butter or shortening

Instructions
- Combine flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl beat margarine, butter, or shortening with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds to soften. Gradually add the 1 cup sugar. Beat until fluffy. Add egg and molasses; beat well. Stir dry ingredients into beaten mixture.
- Shape into 1½ inch balls (1 heaping tablespoon dough each). Roll in the 2 tablespoons of sugar and place on an ungreased cookie sheet about 2 ½ inches apart.

I can’t wait to make these this year. I think rolling them in sugar is my favorite part. They are so good! What’s your favorite Christmas Cookie recipe? Leave me a comment!
