Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 48 servings

  • ½ cup butter, softened

  • ½ cup molasses

  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • cup white sugar

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • ¼ cup white sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Beat butter, molasses, cocoa, 1/3 cup sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt together in a large bowl until well blended. Beat in flour on low speed just until blended; dough will be firm.

  3. Form into 1-inch balls; roll in 1/4 cup sugar. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until puffy and cracked on top, 8 to 9 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheets for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
