- Cream butter and sugar until pale, light and fluffy. Make sure to scrape bowl before adding next ingredient
- Add molasses to butter and sugar mixture
- Add 1 egg and vanilla and beat until well incorporated. Scrape bowl
- Sift all dry ingredients together and add slowly to mixer. Mix on low-medium speed just until the flour is no longer visible. Scrape bowl and cover with plastic wrap and chill dough for 1 hour
- Preheat oven to 325º
- Scoop desired sized balls and roll in granulated sugar before placing on a parchment lined baking sheet
- Give each cookie a gentle press with your fingers and make sure to give enough space for the cookies to spread out a bit. Small ice cream scoops or a tablespoon will work well for scooping the cookies
- Bake at 325º for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown around the edges
- Cool for 20-25 minutes
Note: These cookies hold up really well when stored in an air-tight container. The flavor is even better the next day. Enjoy!

So, I made a couple of batches of this recipe over the last couple of days for an event. These cookies are super easy to make and your house will smell amazing! I made them smaller - about half the size of what's shown in the video because I wanted to stretch the recipe. I ended up getting about 5 dozen that way. Thinking of making them for the holidays for some edible gifts. :) (Dec 9, 2009 1:41:06 PM)
