Posted on: Dec 31, 2006

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup margarine
  • cup sugar
  • cup dark molasses
  • 1/2 cup water
  • cups flour
  • teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon clove

    2. 2
      Sift together the remaining ingredients and stir into above mixture.
    3. 3
      Chill dough for several hours or overnight.
    4. 4
      Roll 1/4 inch thick, cut in 3 inch circles and sprinkle with sugar.
    5. 5
      Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 min and until when touched lightly with your finger, almost no imprint remains.
    6. 6

    These cookies are so delicious! My mouth was watering from the smell while they were baking. I used half white whole wheat flour and half all purpose flour and added 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
