Directions
- Preheat the oven to 190°C or 375°F.
- Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cloves, ginger, and sugar.
- Add the soft butter, molasses and egg beating until smooth (about 2 minutes).
- Lightly stir in the rolled oats, just until mixed.
- Use a level tablespoon of the dough for each cookie.
- Drop the dough 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, do not over bake.
- If you like chewy cookies, remove them from the oven earlier (they will be lighter colour in the middle).
- Allow the cookies to stay on the cookie sheets a minute or so to get firm before removing then to a cooling rack.
- When cool, store in an air tight container.
