  • Step 4: Sift together flour, salt, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and baking soda. Stir into batter

  • Step 5: Stir in crystallized ginger. (The batter will be thick)

  • Step 6: Place granulated sugar on a plate, roll cought into 1-inch (2.5-cm) balls and dip balls into sugar.

  • Step 7: Place balls, sugar-side up, on cookie sheet about 3-inches (8-cm) apart, as the cookies tend to spread when baking. (Keep dough in fridge between batches)
