Sometimes you find recipes in the most unexpected places. This one was posted on Foxnews.com the other day. I had been in bed for two days sick at the point I ran across it, so realize my mind was a little cloudly when I thought, "yum, that sounds good." I saved the recipe and opted to make it today and much to my delight these are wonderful cookies!
Enjoy!

Ginger Molasses Sugar Cookies
Ingredients:
• 4 1/2 cups of flour
• 4 tsp of ground ginger
• 2 tsp of baking soda
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp cloves
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3 sticks butter - room temperature
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 2 eggs - room temperature
• 1/2 cup molasses
• White granulated sugar for rolling
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
In a large bowl, or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together the butter and sugar until light a fluffy. About 5 minutes.
Next, add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in molasses. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the dry mixture until incorporated.
Make 2 inch rounds (I like to use an ice cream scoop to insure the cookies are the same size), roll in sugar and bake for 12-14 minutes.
The total time will depend on your particular oven.
