Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Add the butter and 1 cup of white sugar to a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer at high speed for 30 seconds. Add the egg and molasses and continue beating on high speed until fluffy.
- Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and spices to combine. Add to the wet ingredients and mix at low speed just until no streaks of flour remain. Cover the bowl of dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Step 3
Preheat the oven to 375℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 4
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Roll each ball in the extra white sugar to coat. Arrange 8 cookie dough balls on each pan, leaving room for the cookies to spread.
- Step 5
Bake one pan at a time in the preheated oven for 8-11 minutes or until the tops just begin to crack. Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. Bake the remaining cookies. Enjoy!
