Ingredients:

Serving

1-1/2 cup butter softened
1 cup sugar
2 whole eggs
1/2 cup molasses
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tbsp ground ginger
4-1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/3 cup brown sugar packed
1/4 cup milk
2 tsp butter
2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Directions:

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in molasses and vanilla; mix well. Combine dry ingredients; gradually add to creamed mixture.
Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 325° for 12-15 minutes or until cookies spring back when touched lightly (do not overbake). Remove to wire racks.
For frosting, in a large saucepan, bring the brown sugar, milk and butter to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute. Remove from the heat (mixture will look curdled at first). Cool for 3 minutes. Add confectioners' sugar, vanilla and salt; mix well. Frost warm cookies. Yield: about 6 dozen.
