Instructions

In a bowl, whisk the Dry Ingredients together until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar until smooth, then mix in the molasses.
Add the Dry Ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing by hand just until a sandy dough forms; do not overwork.
Form the dough into a log, roll in extra sugar, slice into -inch discs, and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes until edges are set and tops are lightly crackled.
