½ tsp. salt
Cane sugar for rolling

Method:
For the cookies
Preheat oven to 350, line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
Cream butter and sugar in the bowl of a standing mixer until light & fluffy.
Add the egg and molasses, and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda and salt.
Slowly incorporate flour mixture until a dough-like mixture forms.
Using an ice cream scooper, scoop and shape the mixture into small balls, then roll in the cane sugar.
Place on parchment lined sheet pans and bake for 8-10 minutes.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Move the cookies to a wire rack to allow additional cooling.
