1 |
Preheat oven
to 350°F. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking
soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a shallow
bowl, place ½ cup sugar; set aside. |
|
2 |
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. |
|
3 |
Pinch off
and roll dough into balls, each equal to 1
Tablespoon. Roll balls in reserved sugar to
coat. |
|
4 |
Arrange
balls on baking sheets, about 3 inches apart.
Bake, one sheet at a time, until edges are just
firm, 10-15 minutes (cookies can be baked two
sheets at a time, but they will not crackle
uniformly). Cool 1 minute on baking sheets;
transfer to racks to cool completely. Store in
an airtight container, 3 to 4 days. |

***Hey,
This One's a Keeper!- would
make it again. "Nice holiday cookie."
-Breckenridge, CO
****Restaurant
Quality!- would
make it again. "I
loved these cookies and could have easily pigged them all down myself.
Instead I took them to a neighborhood barbecue where everyone else
enjoyed them and then asked me for the recipe. I referred them all to
this website."
-Carson City, NV
