I call these Ultimate Ginger Cookies because ultimately I’m going to eat more than one — from each batch! LOL 
. Okay, enough about me — the real reason I call these Ultimate Ginger Cookies is because every time I bake them, I get rave reviews and a request for the recipe — and isn’t that fun! I hope you love them as much as the rest of my friends! Oh by the way, you’re house is going to smell heavenly! You’re welcome

PREPARATION
Cream butter, gradually add 2/3 cup sugar, beating at medium speed of an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add molasses and egg; beat well.
Combine flour and next 4 ingredients; gradually add to creamed mixture, stirring until well blended. Divide dough in half; wrap each portion in plastic wrap and freeze for 30 minutes.
