Ingredients

2 cups unsalted butter at room temperature

3 cups sugar

3 eggs

3/4 cup dark molasses

6 cups flour

6 teaspoons baking soda

3 teaspoons ground ginger

3 teaspoons cloves

3 teaspoons cinnamon

1/2 cup granulated sugar for dipping

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and 3 cups sugar until fluffy. Mix in eggs and molasses. In a large bowl, mix flour, baking soda, ginger, cloves, and cinnamon. Gradually add flour mixture to creamy mixture. Mix until well blended. Chill dough 1/2 hour.

Using a small scoop, form chilled dough into balls and roll in 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Place 12 rolled cookies and a half-size baking sheet and bake for 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to cooling rack and let cool completely. If they are not cooled completely, they will bend and become too soft.
