Directions
Combine flour, spices, soda, and salt.
With an electric mixer at medium-low speed, beat butter and sugar, until light and fluffy.
Beat in egg and molasses.
Reduce speed to low, and gradually add flour mixture until just mixed.
Chill until firm, about 1 hour.
Heat oven to 350℉ (180℃).
Shape dough into approximately 1inch balls, roll in sugar, and place about 2 inches apart on a baking sheet.
Bake until the edges begin to brown, about 15 minutes.
Cool on baking sheet 2 minutes, then move to wire racks.
Cool completely.
