cinnamon cookies

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 tablespoons molasses
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/8 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
2. Cream together butter and sugar.
3. Mix in egg and molasses, blending well.
4. Mix flour, baking soda and cinnamon; add to creamed mixture, mixing well.
5. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet.
6. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.

NOTE TO SELF: i cut the butter in half, which worked out ok, added vanilla extract and a touch of ginger. cookies will spread, rise, then fall flat as they cool. a full tbs of dough makes a good amount… approx 18 cookies a pan, 2 pans ish?

must try rolling them in sugar next time
