Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 °F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Take all your dry ingredients and whisk them together in a bowl and set aside.
- In another large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until it's light and fluffy.
- Add your egg in to the butter/sugar mix, beat until combined.
- Add in the molasses and the vanilla extract, beat until it's completely mixed into the butter mixture.
- Slowly add in your flour mixture, and on the lowest speed on your mixer (or by hand) combine it thoroughly.
- Take a tablespoon or so of dough and roll into a ball, then roll the ball around in the white sugar.
- Place the cookie balls on the baking sheet 1.5 inches apart.
- Bake them in a 350 °F oven for 7-9 minutes until the edges are firmly set but the tops are still soft.
- Remove and let cool on the sheets completely.
- Store in a closed container, These freeze very well.
Notes
- If you want lovely, chewy cookies you cannot bake them too long. The edges should be firmly set and the tops are still soft and would dent in if slightly touched.
- Let them cool completely on the sheets because they WILL fall apart if you touch them too soon.
- You will end up with crispy on the outside, chewy in the middle absolutely mouthwatering molasses cookies!
