Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a shallow bowl, place 1/2 cup sugar; set aside.
• With an electric mixer, beat butter and remaining cup of sugar until combined. Beat in egg and then molasses until combined. Reduce speed to low; gradually mix in dry ingredients, just until a dough forms.
• Pinch off and roll dough into balls, each equal to 1 tablespoon. Roll balls in reserved sugar to coat.
• Arrange balls on baking sheets, about 3 inches apart. Bake, one sheet at a time, until edges of cookies are just firm, 10 to 15 minutes (cookies can be baked two sheets at a time, but they will not crackle uniformly). Cool 1 minute on baking sheets; transfer to racks to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 Degrees Fahrenheit.
• Stir all dry ingredients together in one bowl.
• In separate bowl with mixer at medium speed beat butter and brown sugar till smooth.Beat in molasses till smooth. Reduce speed to low beat in egg and vanilla.Beat in dry combined ingredients until combined. Occasionally scrapping with a rubber spatula.
• I roll dough into balls about thee size of a small walnut on an ungreased cookie sheet about 3 inches apart. I prefer to use parchment paper for easier cleanup.
• Bake cookies 10-15 minutes until flattened and evenly browned. Cool on cookie sheet about 2 minutes. With wide spatula transfer to wire cooling racks to cool completely.
• Repeat with remaining dough.
• My wife likes to dip half the cooled cookie in chocolate to give it some added sweetness and dress them up.

• In standing mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat butter with brown and granulated sugars at medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to medium-low and add yolk and vanilla; increase speed to medium and beat until incorporated, about 20 seconds. Reduce speed to medium-low and add molasses; beat until fully incorporated, about 20 seconds, scraping bottom and sides of bowl once with rubber spatula. Reduce speed to lowest setting; add flour mixture and beat until just incorporated, about 30 seconds, scraping bowl down once. Give dough final stir with rubber spatula to ensure that no pockets of flour remain at bottom. Dough will be soft.
• Using tablespoon measure, scoop heaping tablespoon of dough and roll between palms into 1 1/2-inch ball; drop ball into cake pan with sugar and repeat to form about 4 balls. Toss balls in sugar to coat and set on prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Repeat with remaining dough. Bake 1 sheet at a time until cookies are browned, still puffy, and edges have begun to set but centers are still soft (cookies will look raw between cracks and seem underdone), about 11 minutes, rotating baking sheet halfway through baking. Do not over bake.
• Cool cookies on baking sheet 5 minutes, then use wide metal spatula to transfer cookies to wire rack; cool cookies to room temperature and serve. Can be stored at room temperature in airtight container or zipper-lock plastic bag up to 5 days.
