Ingredients

• 1 1/2 sticks softened butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 2 cups flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg (freshly grated is best!)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• An additional 1/2 cup sugar for rolling dough

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350. Ive found that using the convection setting of your oven actually doesnt work the best for these cookies as youll be baking 1 sheet at a time. In your stand mixer beat together the butter and 1 cup of sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add your egg and molasses and beat until its all combined. In a separate bowl combine the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg & salt). Give it a good whisk. Dump it into your stand mixer and slowly mix until everything is all combined. Using your small cookie scoop (2 tsp size) drop your dough into a bowl of the additional sugar. Roll into tidy little balls and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet leaving about 2-3 inches between each ball. Baking just one sheet at a time, bake for 10-11 minutes until the whole cookie is set. They will kind of puff up in the oven but fall and crinkle once removed. Serve with milk for Santa or freeze!
