2 t. baking soda
2 t. cinnamon
1 t. ground ginger
2 t. ground cloves
1 t. salt
2 c. sugar
1-1/2 c. butter
2 eggs
1/2 c. molasses

Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt in a medium bowl; set aside. Cream sugar and butter together in a large mixing bowl; add eggs and molasses, mixing well. Gradually add in flour mixture; roll dough into one-inch balls. Place on ungreased baking sheets; flatten with the bottom of a glass that has been dipped in butter and then sugar to achieve 1/4-inch thickness. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. Makes about 6 dozen.
