Directions:
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and molasses. Combine the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves,and salt.; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Fold in pecans.

Shape into 2-in. or smaller balls and roll in sugar. Put on ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375º for 11 minutes until tops are cracked. Remove to rack to cool. Makes 8 dozen. Don't flatten the balls before baking. This makes such a big batch that it's fun to give away to others, or freeze some.

This recipe was in a Taste of Home magazine.
