1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. Using a half portion of dough, add 1 tsp cinnamon and ½ tsp ground ginger. Stir in 1 tbsp molasses.

3. Drop 1 ½ tbsp of dough onto parchment-covered sheet pan, leaving at least 1 ½-inch space between each one. Sprinkle each cookie with coarse sugar.

Dough

This recipe makes enough for two batches of cookies, so we suggest that you always divide the dough in half and wrap each separately.

• ½ tsp baking powder

• ¼ tsp salt

• pinch ground nutmeg

• 1 cup butter

• 1 cup packed brown sugar

• 1 egg

• 1 tsp vanilla

Directions:

1. Combine first four ingredients in a bowl.

2. Cream together butter and sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla.

3. Mix in half the dry ingredients, then add what is remaining.

4. Divide dough in half and wrap with plastic wrap until ready to use.
