Soft Molasses Cookies (aka, the best cookies you will ever eat!)

I literally could not stop shoving these cookies in my mouth- they are pretty much the best thing I have ever tasted!!!!

2 1/4 c. flour
2 tsp ginger
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 c. margarine
1 c. sugar
1 egg
1 Tbls orange juice
1/4 c. molasses

-Cream margarine and sugar together in mixer. Add egg, orange juice, and molasses and mix well.
- Stir in dry ingredients. Chill for about 1/2 hour. (I chilled mine overnight)
-Shape into balls, roll in sugar, and flatten.
-Bake 8-10 min on 350 degrees. Let cool on pan before moving to cookie racks.

enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!!!!!!!!
