From Martha Stewart's Everyday Food as found online. Ingredients:
2 cups unbleached flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground fresh nutmeg |
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (my addition) |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened |
1 large egg |
1/4 cup unsulphured molasses |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt.
3. In a shallow bowl, place 1/2 cup sugar; set aside.
4. With an electric mixer, beat butter and remaining 1 cup of sugar until combined. Beat in egg and then molasses until incorporated.
5. Reduce speed to low; gradually mix in dry ingredients, *just* until a dough forms.
6. Pinch off and roll dough into 1 balls. Roll balls in the reserved sugar to coat.
7. Arrange balls on parchment lined baking sheets, about 3 inches apart. Bake, one sheet at a time, until edges are just firm and top of cookies have a crackle effect, 10 to 15 minutes.
8. Cool cookies 1 minute on baking sheets; transfer to racks to cool completely.
