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
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.
Makes: 8 dozen cookies
