Molasses Spice Cookies

Why you'll love these soft molasses cookies:

- Seriously soft and chewy - Filled with cozy spices - Drizzled with vanilla glaze

STEP 1:

Beat butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar in a large mixer bowl at medium speed until soft and creamy.

STEP 2:

Mix in molasses until combined.

STEP 3:

Beat in egg and vanilla until combined.

STEP 4:

Add dry ingredients and beat just until incorporated.

STEP 5:

The finished dough will be soft so chilling is a must. Cover dough and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

STEP 6:

Use a medium cookie scoop coated with nonstick spray to form 1 1/2-inch balls of dough. Roll the balls in granulated sugar.

STEP 7:

Bake cookies at 350°F for 13 to 14 minutes, rotating pans halfway through, until cookies are puffed and crackly.

STEP 8:

Drizzle or spoon vanilla glaze over the cooled cookies and sprinkle with sparkling sugar. White chocolate is delicious too!

Perfect ginger molasses cookies with crackly tops!
