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
Instructions:
- 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.)
