Beat until light and fluffy:

1 cup sugar
3/4 cup butter
1/4 cup molasses

1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg.

Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour for easier handling.

Heat oven to 350F. Shape dough into 1-inch balls; roll in sugar. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes or until set. Cookies will puffed up and flatten during baking and show cracks on the surface.

Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets.
