Gingersnaps

(this recipe was originally for use in my cookie press. However, the cookies would not come OUT of my cookie press, so instead I rolled them into balls, rolled the balls into sugar and then either baked them as balls, or flattened the balls with a glass. The balls were chewier than the flattened balls....)

1/2 cup butter, soft
1/4 cup margarine, soft
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup molasses
1 egg
4 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt
1-1/2 tsp baking soda
2-1/2 tsp all spice

1. Preheat oven to 375. Cream butter and margarine until fluffy. Gradually beat in brown sugar. Add molasses and egg, mix well. Stir in flour, baking soda, salt and allspice.
2. Amended part: Roll into balls and roll balls in sugar. Bake as is, or press flat with glass. Bake for 8-10 mins. Cool on wire racks.
