Soft Ginger Cookie

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Place the flour, baking soda, spices, and salt in a sifter, and sift into a bowl. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in the egg. Then, stir in the molasses.

Slowly stir the sifted ingredients into the molasses mixture.

Cool the dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Shape the dough into 1-inch sized balls, rolling them into the granulated sugar.

Place the cookies a couple of inches apart onto a lined baking sheet, flattening slightly.

Bake for 8-10 minutes, letting them cool before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
