Grandma's Best Gingersnaps

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened ( 1 stick plus 4 tbsp. )
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup fancy molasses
1 egg
3 tbsp. granulated sugar for rolling dough

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk flour together 
with baking soda and spices.

In a large bowl, using a wooden spoon or an electric mixer, beat butter with sugar until blended. 
Beat in molasses then egg until creamy, about 3 min. Gradually add flour mixture.

Roll dough into balls, measuring about 1-inch. Then roll in sugar (there may be some left over). 
Place on baking sheets, spacing at least 2-inches apart. Bake on top and bottom third of oven, 
rotating sheets halfway through, for 8 to 10 min total or until cookies begin to crack. Transfer to a rack to cool.
