Ingredients:
1 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup butter, melted
1 large egg, room temperature
1/4 cup molasses
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 cup sugar or coarse sugar

Directions:
In a large bowl, mix the brown sugar and butter until blended. Next, beat in the egg and molasses.

Combine the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon and cloves. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the brown sugar mixture and mix. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least two hours. Editor's Tip: The dough may appear stiff, but this is normal.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll the dough balls in sugar. Place them 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Bake the cookies for 9 to 11 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack before serving.
