"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Instructions

Set the oven to 350F Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy.

Add the egg and molasses and blend well.

Sift or whisk the dry ingredients together and add to the wet. Mix until completely blended.

Form or scoop balls the size of a small walnut. I like to use a 1 1/4 inch cookie scoop for uniform cookies. Roll each ball in granulated sugar to coat.

Place on an un-greased or parchment paper-lined baking sheet 2" apart.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, and let cool slightly on the pan before transferring to a rack to cool completely.
