Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup molasses

  4. Add egg and molasses to butter mixture; beat until combined.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in powdered sugar to coat well.
  7. Place the coated dough balls on prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cookies are set and crackled on top.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

For an extra festive touch, drizzle melted white chocolate over the cooled cookies or add a pinch of black pepper to the dough for subtle heat.
