Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup sugar for rolling
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup dark molasses
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground ginger

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Prepare 2 baking sheets by either greasing them or lining them with parchment paper.
  • Mix butter, brown sugar, and egg in a large bowl. Beat well.
  • Stir in molasses, flour, baking soda, and spices.
  • Shape dough into balls. Put 1/3 cup of sugar on a plate and roll balls in sugar. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes, just until the tops crack. Cool on wire racks.

Notes

These cookies will spread. Don't over bake them; you want them slightly chewy in the center and crunchy around the edges.
