Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Whisk together flour and all the spices.
Add 1/3 cup white sugar and the brown sugar, mix well.
Pour in melted butter, molasses, egg, and vanilla extract.
Mix until thoroughly combined and no flour streaks remain.
Place remaining 1/3 cup white sugar in a pie dish.
Using a 1-inch cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough portions into your hand, roll to smooth the edges, and then roll in the sugar.
Bake 12 cookies on a sheet for 10 minutes in a preheated oven.
Notes
Light or dark brown sugar can be used, I prefer dark brown sugar but either will work.
