Old Fashioned Molasses Cookies

• 2 cups All-purpose Flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
• 1/2 teaspoons Salt
• 1-3/4 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Ground Cloves
• 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger
• 3/4 cups Butter, Softened
• 1-1/2 cup Sugar, Divided
• 1 whole Egg, Room Temperature
• 1/4 cups Blackstrap Molasses

1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves and ginger. Set aside.
2. With a mixer, combine softened butter, 1 cup of sugar and egg until creamy. Add molasses and mix until combined. Mix in flour, 1/2 cup at a time on low speed until well combined. Dough will be thick. Cover and chill dough in refrigerator for 1 hour.
3. Once dough has been chilled, preheat oven to 375u0b0F. Divide dough and roll into 24 quarter-sized balls.
4. Place remaining 1/2 cup sugar on flat surface and roll each ball in it until coated with sugar. Place onto greased baking sheet.
5. Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges start to set and tops start to crack. Cookies will still be a little gooey inside. Cool on wire racks and enjoy!
