Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies

Instructions

Whisk together the dry ingredients.

Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.

Add the sugar and molasses to the melted butter. Remove the heat and let the butter mixture cool slighlty.

Pour the mixture into a mixing bowl and beat well.

When the mixture is mostly cool, add the egg and beat again.

Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Beat until the dry ingredients are combined.

Cover and chill the mixture for a few hours.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. The cookies should be slightly puffy and light golden brown around the edges.

Form the cookie dough into 1 inch balls. I use a #20 cookie scoop.

Drop each cookie dough ball in sugar.
