2 1/4 cups margarine
2 cups brown sugar
3 whole eggs
2/3 cups molasses (not blackstrap molasses)
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
Steps to follow:
- Mix all dry ingredients together and sift.
- Cream together the margarine and brown sugar in a standing mixture until smooth and light (4-5 mins).
- Slowly add the sifted ingredients to the creamed margarine and mix evenly until smooth.
- Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours (or overnight).
- Roll the dough with your hands into golf-ball sized shapes.
- Roll the balls into sugar on one side, leave the other side clean.
- Lay the dough balls (clean side down) on a parchment lined baking tray and bake at 350F for 12-15 mins.
- They should appear brown around the edges. Cool on a wire rack.
