Swedish Spice Cookies

Directions

Heat oven to 375℉ (190℃) degrees.

Have ungreased baking sheet(s) ready.

Sift together the flour, baking soda, spices and salt; set aside.

Beat the butter and 1 cup of the granulated sugar in large bowl.

Add the egg and molasses; mix well.

Stop the mixer and add the flour mixture.

Mix just until combined.

Using about 1½ teaspoons dough for each, roll dough into balls.

Roll in the remaining ½ cup granulated sugar so they are fully coated.

Arrange on baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.

If you prefer a thin, crisp cookie, they may be flattened with a glass that has been dipped in sugar.

Bake until set, 9 to 10 minutes.

Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.
