Ingredients:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup dark molasses
  • 1/4 cup white sugar

Directions:

  1. Place the white sugar on a small plate and set aside.
  2. Mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small bowl.
  3. Cream together butter and brown sugar. Beat in the egg, then molasses.
  4. Gradually stir in flour mixture.
  5. Using a medium scoop or tablespoon, form dough into 11/2 balls. (Dough may be chilled for easier handling if desired)
  6. Roll balls in white sugar and place 2 apart on an ungreased baking sheet. (12 per sheet).
  7. Bake at 350° approximately 12 minutes, or until the edges are just firm. The center will be soft and cracked. (I use a stoneware baking sheet; your baking time may need to be adjusted to suit your pan)
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the sheet for a couple of minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
  9. Store in an airtight container.
