Ginger Molasses Rounds

Ingredients

• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda 
• 0.8 cup butter 
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon 
• 1  eggs 
• 1.5 cups flour all-purpose sifted
• 1 cup granulated sugar for coating
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger 
• 0.1 cup blackstrap molasses 
• 0.3 teaspoon salt 
• 1 tablespoon sugar 

Equipment

• bowl
• baking sheet
• oven

Directions

1. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar.Beat in egg and molasses.In a separate bowl, combine flour, soda, salt and spices, and blend into creamed mixture.Shape into small balls and roll in additional sugar to coat.
2. Place the balls 2 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
3. Bake in 350 degree oven for no more than 8 - 9 minutes, until just set. (They are going to be soft and their tops just slightly cracked at this point, but don't worry - they harden quickly. Removing them at the right time will ensure the perfect chewiness.)
