3/4 c. butter, softened
1 c. sugar
1 egg, unbeaten
1/4 c. molasses
2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 tsp. powdered cloves
3/4 tsp. powdered ginger

Mix together butter, sugar, egg, and molasses. Then sift together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger. Stir in with butter mixture. Mix it all together, and form it into walnut-sized balls (rolling dough in your hands).

Put them 2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

My husband loves these. Easy, too!
