1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup molasses
1 1/2 tsp. white vinegar
1 egg
1/2 tsp. baking soda
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. salt
Combine butter, sugar, molasses, and vinegar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then cool completely. When fully cool, beat egg into mixture (don't do this while it's warm, or you'll get scrambled eggs!)
In a large mixing bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Mix molasses mixture into dry ingredients. Chill, covered, in refrigerator. When dough is chilled, roll out and cut with cookie cutters, or scoop into balls. (Or, you can scoop the unchilled dough onto cookie sheets in balls, freeze, then transfer the balls to a gallon freezer bag for baking later.) Bake in a 375 degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes on a greased cookie sheet.
If baking previously frozen dough balls, do not thaw before cooking. Just place the frozen dough on the pan and cook like usual, same temperature and time.
