Ingredients

1 1/2 cups white sugar

0.75 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 egg

0.25 cup molasses

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp ground cinnamon

0.5 tsp salt

0.5 tsp ground cloves

0.5 tsp ground ginger

Directions

Prepare all ingredients.

In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup sugar, melted butter, and egg until smooth.

Stir in molasses.

In another medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, cloves, and ginger. Add this mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until well combined. Cover and refrigerate dough for 1 hour.

While preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C), roll dough into 1-inch diameter balls. Roll each ball in remaining 1/2 cup white sugar before placing them 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake in batches until the tops are cracked, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Let the cookies cool on wire racks before enjoying!
