Molasses Cookies

In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, light brown sugar, and egg until smooth. Stir in the molasses. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger. Mix dry ingredients into the molasses mixture. Cover and chill dough for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll dough into walnut-sized balls and roll them in the granulated sugar. Place cookies 2 inches apart onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Using the bottom of a flat glass, gently press down on the cookies to lightly flatten.

Bake for 7-8 minutes until tops are cracked. Remove from baking sheets and cool on wire racks. Once cookies have completely cooled, lightly dust them with confectioner’s sugar.
