Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour*
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon, divided

- In a stand mixer, cream butter, brown sugar, and remaining 1/4 cup granulatedsugar until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.Add molasses, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until wellcombined. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, and mix until fully combined.
- Roll one heaping tablespoon of dough into balls and toss in cinnamon sugar mixture. Placeon cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches for spreading.

Absolutely love this recipe, and have made it several times over! I tend to kick up the spices a little bit and add clove, nutmeg, cardamom and a crack of black pepper to the sugar/cinnamon topping mixture. I add 1/8 tsp of cardamom to the mixture too! Just the perfect kick! The flour is just right if you do the spoon and sweep method, and they usually need 11 or so mins in my oven. I will continue to bake these every winter!

Five stars is not enough! These cookies are incredible and my absolute favorite. If you had trouble with this recipe I urge you to try again. The key is not to over bake them. They will make you think they aren’t quite done but trust me that is when they are perfectly done! The edges will be set but the center will make you second guess yourself, don’t! Pull them. Cool for a few minutes then carefully move to a rack to cool. Second tip is to not use super soft butter, and don’t forget to use that extra cinnamon sugar on top right when they come out! I am not sure how this recipe escaped Heaven (along with Pancakes) but I am grateful that it did!
