Ingredients

– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

– 3/4 cup butter

– 1 teaspoon cinnamon*

– 1 egg

– 1 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour

– cup Additional granulated sugar, about ½ for coating

– 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

– 1/8 cup of molasses

– 1/4 teaspoon salt

– 1 tablespoon sugar

 

Preparation

In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar.Beat in egg and molasses.In a separate bowl, combine flour, soda, salt and spices, and blend into creamed mixture.Shape into small balls and roll in additional sugar to coat.

 

Place the balls 2 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment.

 

Bake in 350 degree oven for no more than 8 – 9 minutes, until just set. (They are going to be soft and their tops just slightly cracked at this point, but don’t worry – they harden quickly. Removing them at the right time will ensure the perfect chewiness.)
