Chocolate sugar cookie with The spice of a gingersnap. Perfect for The holidays!

In a bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, cinnamon and cloves. In another bowl, cream the butter until soft. Gradually add sugar, beating until fluffy. Beat in the molasses and egg. Add flour mixture. Blend until a stiff dough forms. Roll dough (half or a quarter of dough is easier to work with) on a lightly floured board to a 1/8-to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into favorite shapes. Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar.

Bake at 350 F for 10 to 12 minutes depending on thickness. Cool a minute on sheet before removing to a rack to complete cooling. Repeat with remaining batches. Store in a tin when completely cooled.

Variations: The cookies can be sprinkled with chocolate sprinkles or holiday colored sugar.
