1 TBSP flaxseed + 2 TBSP water(mix together in separate bowl for a few minutes before adding)
1/4 C molasses(or slightly less)
2 1/2 C flour
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp cloves
1 1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger

1/3 C sugar(or more as needed for rolling dough balls in)

1.  In a separate bowl mix together flour, salt, baking soda, cloves, cinnamon, and ginger.  Set aside.
2.  Cream butter and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl.
3.  Add flaxseed/water combination and molasses.  Mix.
4.  Add half of the flour mixture and mix.  Then add the rest and mix again.
5.  Using a small sized pampered chef scoop, scoop balls of dough and then roll them in your bowl of sugar. 6.  Place on an ungreased cookie sheet.  I always use two cookie sheets at a time and rotate the position of 7.  the sheets from the two rack positions(on right above the middle and on right below) half way through.
8.  Bake at 350 degrees for 9 minutes (or cook for 5 minutes first then rotate sheets and cook 4 more                minutes) Yield is about 52 small cookies.
9.  Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute before removing to a cooling rack.
