Spice Balls

 

12 tablespoons ( 1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

1 1/4 cups sugar

1 large egg

1/4 cup molasses

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon table salt

 

Combine the butter and 1 cup of the sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat

until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in the egg and molasses.

 

Sift the flour, soda, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, and salt together onto a

piece of parchment. Add to the butter mixture in 2 batches, beating just until

combined. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 2 to 3 hours.

 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a pie

plate. Shape the dough into walnut-size balls and roll in the sugar to coat.

Arrange 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets and bake until cracked and dry

but still soft, about 10 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then

transfer to cool on wire racks.
