Ginger Molasses Rounds Recipe

In a large bowl, cream together the ¾ cup butter and 1 tablespoon sugar until light. Beat in the 1 egg and ⅛ cup molasses until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the 1½ cups flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon ground ginger. Gradually blend these dry ingredients into the creamed mixture until just combined. Shape the dough into small balls, then roll each one in the 1 cup additional granulated sugar to coat evenly.
