3/4 cup margarine, melted
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup (80g) molasses
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 cup white sugar

Directions

In a medium bowl, mix together the melted margarine, 1 cup sugar, and egg until smooth. Stir in the molasses.
combine the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger; blend into the molasses mixture. Cover, and chill dough for 1 hour (Optional - if not, the dough will be very soft and harder to work with, and it will make flatter cookies). Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Roll dough into walnut sized balls, and roll them in the remaining white sugar. Place cookies 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until tops are cracked. Cool on wire racks
