  • n a large bowl, cream together the margarine and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the egg, then stir in the water and molasses.
  • Gradually stir the sifted ingredients into the molasses mixture.
  • Shape dough into walnut sized balls, and roll them in the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar.
  • Place the cookies 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet or on parchment paper on sheet, and flatten slightly.
