INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine-grain kosher salt
1-1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
--1/2 cup granulated sugar, mixed with 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for rolling cookies in)
METHOD
In a medium bowl, with a hand mixer beat together the melted butter, brown sugar and egg until smooth. Add molasses and vanilla, and beat to combine. Sift through a sieve into the bowl the flour, baking soda, kosher salt, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and allspice; blend with a wooden spoon into the molasses mixture. Place dough, covered with plastic wrap, in the freezer to chill for a 1/2 hour.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a Silpat liner; set aside.
Mix white sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl; set aside.
Remove chilled dough from freezer, and roll into walnut sized balls, and then roll them in the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Place cookies 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheet, and slightly flatten them with a smooth-bottom glass.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, just until tops are beginning to form cracks. Cool on wire racks. – Enjoy!

Tip: I store my cookies in an airtight container with an unflavored cracker (I use a chunk of pilot bread or a club cracker), which keeps them moist so they don’t dry out and become hard.

These are fresh out of the oven, and oh so wonderful with a cold glass of milk - they are tender, with just the perfect amount of spices and sweetness - enjoy!
