Ingredients

2-1/4 cups all-purpose white flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
3/4 cup butter
1-1/8 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup liquid low cholesterol egg substitute
1/4 cup molasses

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350° F.
In a medium bowl combine the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon and cloves. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Beat in 1 cup sugar.
Add liquid egg substitute and molasses; beat well.
Stir flour mixture into egg mixture.
Shape dough into 1-1/2" balls, using about 1 heaping tablespoon of dough for each.
Roll balls in the remaining sugar to coat.
Place balls about 2-1/2" apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes or until light brown and still puffed. (Do not over bake.)
Cool cookies on cookie sheet for 2 minutes then transfer cookies to a wire rack and let cool.

Helpful hints

If dough is too soft to handle refrigerate for 1/2 hour for easier handling.
Store cookies in a sealed container to keep soft.
