1-1/2 stick Sweet/Unsalted Butter, Melted (if Using Salted Butter, Omit Additional Salt)
1 cup Sugar
1/4 cups Molasses (Grandma's Original Molasses Recommended)
1 Egg
1-3/4 cup Flour
1/2 teaspoons Ground Cloves
1/2 teaspoons Ground Ginger
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

1/4 cups Lemon Juice
3 cups Powdered Sugar

1
Preheat oven to 350 F and line 2 baking sheets with foil.
2
In a large bowl thoroughly mix together melted butter, sugar and molasses.
3
In a small bowl lightly beat egg and add it into the creamed mixture; blend well. Set aside.

5
Drop tablespoon sized scoops of cookie batter on the foil-lined trays, leaving approximately 3 inches between cookies.

Bake just until they begin to darken, about 8-10 minutes. Remove pans from the oven and transfer cookies to a cooling rack.
