• Chewy Molasses-Spice Cookies

  I couldn't help sharing these with you.

  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (Spooned and leveled)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup molasses

  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a med. bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.  In a small bowl, place 1/2 cup sugar, set aside.  With an electric mixer, beat butter and remaining cup of sugar until combined.  Beat in egg and then molasses until combined.  Reduce speed to low; gradually mix in dry ingredients, just until a dough forms.  Pinch off and roll dough into balls (about 1 tablespoon).  Roll balls in reserved sugar to coat.  Arrange on baking sheets, bake 10 to 15 minutes. 

  Enjoy this old-fashion cookie!
