Chewy Molasses Cookies ~ Adapted from Martha Stewart
2 c flour (spooned and leveled)
1 1/2 t baking soda
1 t cinnamon
1/2 t nutmeg
1/2 t salt
1 1/2 c sugar, divided
3/4 c (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened
1 egg
1/4 c molasses
Preheat oven to 350°. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a shallow bowl, place 1/2 cup sugar; set aside.
In stand mixer fit with paddle attachment, beat butter and remaining cup of sugar until combined. Beat in egg, then molasses until combined. Reduce speed to low; gradually add dry ingredients, mix just until dough forms.
Using cookie scoop, drop balls of dough into reserved sugar and roll to coat. Arrange balls on baking sheets, about 3 inches apart and bake until edges of cookies are firm, approximately 10 minutes. Cool 2 minutes on sheet; transfer to rack to cool completely. Store tightly covered. Yield 3 dozen cookies.
