Time 1h30m

Yield Makes 36

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
1/4 cup molasses

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a shallow bowl, place 1/2 cup sugar; set aside.
With an electric mixer, beat butter and remaining cup of sugar until combined. Beat in egg and then molasses until combined. Reduce speed to low; gradually mix in dry ingredients, just until a dough forms.
Pinch off and roll dough into balls, each equal to 1 tablespoon. Roll balls in reserved sugar to coat.
Arrange balls on baking sheets, about 3 inches apart. Bake, one sheet at a time, until edges of cookies are just firm, 10 to 15 minutes (cookies can be baked two sheets at a time, but they will not crackle uniformly). Cool 1 minute on baking sheets; transfer to racks to cool completely.

Tips:

For a chewier cookie: Use light brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
For a crispier cookie: Bake the cookies for a few minutes longer.
To make the cookies extra soft: Let them cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
To add a little extra flavor: Try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract to the dough.
For a festive touch: Decorate the cookies with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or dried fruit before baking.

Conclusion:

These low-fat soft and chewy spice cookies are a delicious and healthy treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give these cookies a try!
