3/4 c. butter
1 c. brown sugar
1 egg
1/4 c. molasses
2 1/4 c. flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ginger

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl mix the butter, brown sugar, egg, and molasses. In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, salt, cloves, cinnamon, and ginger. Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture. Once mixed, chill in fridge for 1 hour. Roll chilled dough into balls. Dip tops in sugar and sprinkle each with 1 - 2 drops water (for crinkling effect). Bake 8-10 minutes.
