Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. Cream the granulated sugar and softened unsalted butter until smooth.
  4. Beat in the molasses and egg until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Roll the dough into small balls, about one inch in diameter.
  7. Place the sugar-coated balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Notes

For chewier cookies, let the dough rest in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking. You can substitute molasses with honey or maple syrup.
