Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp all spice
1/2 cup sugar for tops
Directions:
In a medium bowl, mix melted butter, 1 cup sugar and egg until smooth. Stir in the molasses. In another bowl combine the dry ingredients. Blend the dry mixture to the molasses mix. Cover and chill for at least an hour. You'll want to keep this mix cool so you might start some and then stick the bowl back in the fridge until it chills again. Chilling keeps it from being a sticky mess.
You've already preheated your oven to 375 degrees. Roll the chilled dough into bite size balls - walnut size. Roll the balls into the sugar you set aside for the tops. Place onto an ungreased baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Bake 8-10 minutes and cool on a wire rack. Sprinkle with any leftover sugar.
They turn out quite flat so presentation may not be the greatest but they are superbly tasty and those who don't even like molasses cookies have commented that they love these! Super special. Enjoy!
