Step 3
Using your mixer (hand or stand) mix in the molasses to your butter and sugar bowl on medium speed until combined.
Step 4
On low speed, beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth consistency is reached. Remember to continuously scrape the sides of your bowl so all ingredients are incorporated.
Step 5
Fold in the dry ingredients, combining a little portion at a time, until just combined. Don’t over mix!
Step 6
Cover the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 2 hours (minimum).
Step 7
Once cookie dough has chilled and can easily be formed, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Step 8
Roll the dough with your hands into 1 inch balls. Roll the balls in granulated sugar. Place the balls on a parchment lined cookie sheet, spaced 2” apart.
Step 9
Bake for 10-11 minutes until edges are set.
Step 10
Let cookies rest on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes and then remove to let cool on a cooling rack.
