Can't get enough of them!

Chewy Molasses-Spice Cookies


2 c. flour
1 1/2 t. baking soda
1 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. ground nutmeg
1/2 t. salt
1 1/2 c. sugar
3/4 c. (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened
1 lg. egg
1/4 c. molasses

1. Preheat oven to 350. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a shallow bowl, place 1/2 c. sugar. Set aside

2. Beat butter and cup of sugar until combined. Beat in egg and then molasses until combined. On low speed, gradually mix in dry ingredients, just until a dough forms.

3. Pinch off and roll dough into balls, each equal to 1 T. Roll balls in sugar to coat.

4. Arange balls on baking sheets, about 3 inches apart. Bake, one sheet at a time, until edges are just firm, 10 - 15 minutes. (my oven took about 12) Cool 1 minute on baking sheets. Transfer to racks to cool completely.
