ingredients

Cookies
- 2 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 3⁄4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1⁄3 cups sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsulphered molasses
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
Topping
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1⁄4 cup sugar
directions
- Position oven rack in center of oven; preheat oven to 350°; grease two baking sheets.
- Make the dough: sift together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt into a bowl; stir until well blended; set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, using the paddle attachment, beat the butter, sugar, and molasses at medium-high speed until light, about 1 1/2 minutes.
- Add in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Beat in the vanilla extract; scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat for 30 seconds.
- At low speed, add the flour mixture and mix just until blended.
- Make the topping: in a small bowl, gently whisk the cinnamon and sugar together.
- Shape the dough into 1 1/4 inch balls (using about 1 1/2 tablespoons dough for each cookie).
- Roll each ball into the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat completely; arrange balls on baking sheets, spacing them 2 1/2 inches apart.
- Flatten each cookie into a 2-inch disk.
- Bake, one sheet at a time, for 16-18 minutes, until the tops are crinkly and they are puffed and lightly browned on the edges.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and cool completely.
