Molasses Cookies
Ingredients
1 ½ cups white sugar, divided
¾ cup butter or margarine melted
1 large egg
¼ cup molasses
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon ground ginger
Directions
Mix 1 cup sugar, butter, and egg together in a medium bowl until smooth; stir in molasses.
Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, cloves, and ginger in a separate medium bowl; add to the molasses mixture and stir until well combined.
Cover and chill dough for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
While the oven is preheating, roll dough into 1-inch diameter balls; roll each ball in remaining 1/2 cup white sugar before placing 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake in batches in the preheated oven until the tops are cracked, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
