2. With an electric mixer, beat butter and remaining cup of sugar until combined. Beat in egg and then molasses until combined. Reduced speed to low; gradually mix in dry ingredients just until a dough forms.
3. Pinch off and roll dough into balls. each equal to 1 Tablespoon. Roll balls in reserved sugar to coat.
4. Arrange balls on baking sheets. about 3-inches apart. Bake one sheet at a time. Until edges 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.
