* 3/4 cup butter, softened
* 1 cup white sugar
* 1/4 cup molasses
* 1 egg

DIRECTIONS
* In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat ginger, butter, and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in molasses and egg. Gently fold in flour mixture until just combined. Chill for 1 hour.
* Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
* Roll dough into 1 1/2 inch balls and then roll them in sugar. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
