Mom's Famous Molasses Cookies

My mom makes these by the ton and EVERYONE loves them.

Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup molasses (mom prefers Grandma's Sweet Molasses Brand)
2 1/4 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cloves
3 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons ginger

Instructions:
Mix together all ingredients
Chill dough for easier handling.
Form dough into balls; Roll in sugar
Placed on ungreased cookie sheets
Bake at 350 degrees. Baking time varies by size. Golf ball size may take about 16 minutes.

For a soft cookie do not overbake. If they turn out harder than you like, place the cookies in a covered container with a slice of bread or two and some wax paper and they will soften.
