molasses cookies (for lindy...these are my moms)

sift together

4 cups flour

2 tsp cinnamon

2 tsp ginger

2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1 tsp cloves

cream together

1 1/3 cup soft butter

1 cup sugar

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup molasses

2 eggs

combine the two mixtures. if it is sticky add 1/3 cup more flour. roll into balls, then roll in sugar. bake on a greased cookie sheet for 9 minutes at 400 degrees. (i actually cook them a minuter or 2 longer but my mom likes them a little more gooey and i like them fully cooked.)
