Mom sent me back two recipes--I was not aware that we used two! But apparently one has an icing while the other is simply rolled in sugar. I'll give you the latter, because that's the one I was thinking of.
Molasses Softies
Oven temp: 350
1 cup margarine at room temp. 1 1/3 cup sugar 1 egg 1/3 cup molasses 3 Tbl. dark corn syrup 2 Tbl. milk
Combine: 4 cups of flour 2 tsp baking soda 2 tsp. cinnamon 1 1/2 tsp. ginger 1 1/2 tsp. cloves
In large bowl, mix together margarine, sugar & egg; add molasses, corn syrup & milk until blended. Add dry ingredients and stir until combined. Should be a somewhat stiff dough.
Shape into dough into 1 1/2 " balls and roll each ball in sugar. Place 2- 3 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10-14 min. or until golden. (don't overbake or they won't be softies) Remove from oven and let cool for 2 - 3 min. before moving to cooling racks. Always let your cookie sheet cool in between batches.
