Pumpkin Spice Molasses Cookies

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and ginger in a medium bowl.

In a large bowl, beat butter and 1 cup granulated sugar together until light and creamy. Add pumpkin, molasses, egg and vanilla and mix until well-combined. (Tip: Spray measuring cup with nonstick spray before you measure the molasses so it slides out easily.) Slowly beat in flour mixture, being careful not to overmix. Stir in morsels.

Cover bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until dough is firm.

Pour remaining ⅓ cup sugar into a bowl or plate. Form dough into 1-inch balls and roll in sugar. Place on cookie sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are set. Let cookies rest on cookie sheet for 3–4 minutes, then move to a cooling rack.
