Let me show you how to make these cookieshappen!

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Into your stand mixer place 1 C butter and 1 C sugar. Cream together for 2 minutes, then scrape the bottom of bowl and add 1 egg. Cream for an additional 1 minute.

3. Add 1 C molasses…

and mix to combine.

4. In a separate bowl toss together 1/2 tsp salt, 1 1/2 tsp baking soda, 2 tsp ginger, 1 tsp cloves, 11/4 tsp cinnamon and 4 C flour.

5. Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix just until combined.
6. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray and scoop the dough onto the tray in 1 1/2 inch balls.

7. Bake for 7-8 minutes, or until the tops of the cookies are cracked. Be sure not to over bake. Allow the cookies to finish baking on the hot sheet, then transfer them to a cooking rack.

8. In a medium-sized mixing bowl place 1 C softened butter, 4 C powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla and a dash of salt. Beat the mixture until smooth and creamy.
9. When the cookies have cooled completely frost each one.
