- Place the white sugar on a small plate and set aside.
- Mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small bowl.
- Cream together butter and brown sugar. Beat in the egg, then molasses.
- Gradually stir in flour mixture.
- Using a medium scoop or tablespoon, form dough into 1½" balls. (Dough may be chilled for easier handling if desired)
- Roll balls in white sugar and place 2" apart on an ungreased baking sheet. (12 per sheet).
- Bake at 350° approximately 12 minutes, or until the edges are just firm. The center will be soft and cracked. (I use a stoneware baking sheet; your baking time may need to be adjusted to suit your pan)
- Allow cookies to cool on the sheet for a couple of minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
- Store in an airtight container.
