- 1/3 cup molasses
- 1 egg
- 2 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.

- Combine the butter with both sugars, vanilla, molasses and egg and beat with a mixer until well combined.
- In a separate bowl combine the flour, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
- Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix until flour is combined.
- Stir in the M&M’s, preferably by hand. Make sure they are well distributed, but don't over mix or they might get crushed.
- Spray a 9 x 13 inch pan with cooking spray and press the batter evenly into the pan with a spatula. The dough will be stiff and not pourable. Add a few more M&Ms on top of the batter if desired.
