2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup sugar + about 1/4-1/2 cup for rolling cookies
3/4 cups butter, softened
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses
Stir together flour, soda, spices and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, beat butter and 1 cup sugar together until fluffy. (Place remaining 1/4-1/2 cup sugar in a small bowl and set aside for rolling dough balls.) Beat in egg and then molasses. Gradually mix in flour mixture until dough forms. Roll pieces of dough into one inch balls and roll in the small bowl of sugar to coat each ball. Place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper about 3 inches apart. Bake at 350 degrees for 9-10 minutes. Let cool on cookie sheet for one minute, then transfer to cooling rack. Makes about 4 dozen.
