is sure to bring the family running. Make sure not to overbake
these cookies so that they stay soft and chewy.

1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
Preheat oven to 325 degrees and lightly grease the cookie
sheets. In a large bowl cream together the brown sugar and
butter until creamy. Beat in the egg and molasses until light
and creamy. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a medium
bowl. Add the dry ingredients slowly to the butter mixture.
Drop by teaspoonsful onto the prepared sheets 2 inches apart
and bake for 8-10 minutes or until set. Cookies should not
brown. Cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes, then transfer
