GINGER COOKIES

x
The morning is when my ovens are free. So, long before anyone is even thinking about getting up, I am mixing and rolling out cookie dough.

I roll these into 1 inch balls before coating them with sugar. You can certainly make them bigger. Perfect with coffee or better yet s cold glass of milk.

3/4 cups sweet butter
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1/4 cup molasses
Zest of 1 orange
1/4 tsp salt
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp allspice
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
Sugar for rolling

Preheat oven to 350f
In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar, add egg and molasses.
Mix in remaining ingredients.

Shape into 1 inch balls. Roll in sugar to coat. Place on ungreased baking pan.

Bake 10 minutes; cool on wire rack
