Dessert: Mary Jo's Molasses Ginger Snaps

3/4 cup margarine or shortening (I use butter)
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. ginger

Mix together at one time all the ingredients. Form into balls. Roll in sugar. Place wide apart on slightly greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 8 to 10 minutes. Makes 3 to 4 dozen.

For a chewy cookie, bake for the minimum time; for a crisp cookie, bake for the maximum time.
