Molasses Cookies

A close second to Cowboy Cookies, these are hard to beat. Mike makes them all the time... matter of fact, he brought over a batch for Easter of '07. They were gone in a flash!

¾ cup butter
1 cup sugar
¼ cup molasses

1 egg

2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
½ tsp cloves
1 tsp cinnamon

Melt first three ingredients in a double boiler. Cool. Add the egg. Sift together all dry ingredients. Mix everything together. Place batter in freezer for ½ hour. Roll into little balls. about an inch in diameter, then roll in sugar. Bake on an un-greased cookie sheet at 350 to 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.
