Soft Ginger Cookies

It has been kind of dreary the past couple of days. The snow has been melting and we have been getting a little bit of rain/sleet. We needed a little pick me up, so I decided to make soft Ginger Cookies.

In a large bowl sift together all your dry ingredients.

Cream 1 cup of sugar and 3/4 cup of  butter together until light and fluffy.

Then beat in 1 egg and stir in the 1/4 cup of molasses and 1 tbl of water.

 Gradually add your dry mixture to your wet mixture until it's all combined.

Place your 2 tbl of sugar in a bowl and set aside.

Take 1 tsp of cookie dough and roll it in the sugar, then place on an ungreased baking sheet.

Bake your cookies for 8-10 minutes.
