Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups brown sugar (packed)
• 1 large egg
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons molasses
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg, vanilla extract, and molasses to the butter mixture. Beat until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.

Step 6

Scoop out 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Step 7

Place the 1/4 cup of granulated sugar in a small bowl. Roll each dough ball in the sugar to coat it completely.

Step 8

Arrange the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one to allow for spreading.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the cookies are set around the edges but still soft in the center. Avoid overbaking for the best texture.

Step 10

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve the cookies once cooled, and store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
