“Plump sugar-topped cookies that taste just like Mary Jane candies. I tone down the ginger and cloves for my toddlers.”

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

* 1 cup packed brown sugar
* 1/2 cup peanut butter
* 1/4 cup butter, softened
* 1/4 cup molasses
* 1 egg
* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 2 teaspoons baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
* 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/3 cup granulated sugar for decoration

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Mix together the brown sugar, peanut butter, butter, molasses and egg in a large bowl.
3. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cloves and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until well blended.
