Sparkly Ginger Cookies

This is a recipe from my daughter and it is a favorite in our family. I have baked these many times and I should add that they rarely make it to the freezer. I have made these for bake sales and they are grabbed up very quickly.

3/4 cup butter or margarine
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
2 1/4 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350.
Cream together the butter, sugar, molasses and egg. In separate bowl mix together the dry ingredients and add to the creamed mixture.
Roll the dough into small balls, approx 1.5" in diameter. Roll balls in white sugar, place on baking pan.
Bake for 10 min. Let cool slightly and transfer cookies to cooling rack.
