Clove Recipe

You didn't believe me when I said I was serious about finding clove recipes did you? I have now accidentally noticed that I also have 3 bottles of GINGER too!! I searched through Michelle's 5000 clove recipes that she so kindly sent me and found this recipe for Delicious Ginger Molasses Cookies... so you see, I got to use 1 whole teaspoon of cloves and 1 whole teaspoon of ginger. If the recipes contained anything less (lots of 1/2 tsp ones), they were automatically excluded! I made these cookies and actually they are pretty darn good! Even my kids (who don't like molasses cookies) said they were "OK"... now Tony, he didn't even bother. Karla assures me that her family liked them. Here is the recipe in case anyone needs to use up some ginger and cloves like I do!

Delicious Ginger Molasses Cookies
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup oil
2 eggs
1/4 cup molasses
1 tsp cloves
1 tsp ginger
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3 cups flour

Cream sugar, oil, eggs and molasses together. Add in all dry ingredients a little at a time until well mixed. Roll into balls about the size of a large quarter. Roll into some more sugar. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Do not over bake. Makes about 2 dozen cookies, depending on the size.
