Steps:

  • 1. Combine the sugar, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda. Mix well.
  • 2. Add the melted butter/margarine, evaporated milk, and molasses. Mix well.
  • 3. Add the flour 1 cup at a time, stirring constantly. The dough should be stiff enough to handle without sticking to fingers.
  • 4. Knead the dough for a smoother texture. Add up to ½ cup additional flour if needed to prevent sticking.
  • 5. When the dough is smooth, roll it out ¼ inch thick on a floured surface and cut it into cookies. You may roll the dough slightly thicker if you desire a taller cookie.
  • 6. Bake on floured or greased cookie sheets in a preheated 375 degree oven for 10 - 12 minutes. The cookies are done if they spring back when touched.
