Ginger Snaps

INGREDIENTS

•       1 Egg
•    3/4 cup  Butter/Margarine, soft
•       1 cup  Sugar
•    1/2 cup  Molasses   
• 2 1/2 cup  All Purpose Flour
•       2 tsp   Baking Soda
•    1/2 tsp  Salt
•       2 tsp  Ginger
•       1 tsp  Cinnamon
•       1 tsp  Vanilla (if desired)

DIRECTIONS

1. Cream Butter and Sugar.  Add the Egg, then mix in the Molasses. Add vanilla if desired.
2. Mix in dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon).  Mix well.
3. Shape into 1" to 1.5" balls.  Roll in granulated sugar and place on greased baking sheet.  They will spread (cookies ended up at 2" diameter), so leave some space.
4. Bake at 350 F for 10 -12 minutes for soft-centered, crispy outside cookies.

Makes ~3-4 dozen, depending on ball size.
