1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
1/4 tbsp. ginger
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 cups flour

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Beat butter and sugar together til light. Add egg, molasses and ginger. Add baking soda mixed with flour. Mix for about 45 seconds.

Roll out thinly (1/8-1/4 inch) on a surface dusted lightly with flour or use a silicone baking mat or wax paper.

Cut into small circles or whatever shape you prefer and transfer using a thin spatula to a baking sheet (if you use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, you can skip the transfer step).

Bake 10-15 minutes, depending upon cookie size and thickness.
