How to make big soft ginger cookies:

Combine flour, ginger, soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt; set aside. In large mixing bowl, beat margarine with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds to soften. Gradually add 1 cup sugar; beat until fluffy. Add egg and molasses; beat well. Stir dry ingredients into beaten mixture. Shape into 1 1/2-inch balls (1 heaping tablespoon of dough each). Roll in the 2 tablespoons sugar and place on ungreased cookie sheet about 2 1/2-inches apart. Bake at 350° for about 10 minutes or until light brown and still puffed. (Do not overbake.) Let stand for 2 minutes before transferring to wire rack. Cool. Makes 24 (3-inch) cookies.
