📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, spices, and salt.
baking soda1 teaspoon
3
In a separate bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for ⏱️ 2 minutes, until smooth and creamy. Add egg, egg yolk, and molasses and beat until thoroughly combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the flour mixture and beat until combined.

4
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for ⏱️ 30 minutes to one hour.
5
Place the sparkling sugar on a plate or shallow bowl. Scoop the dough into balls (see note) and roll the balls of dough in the sparkling sugar (be generous!). Place the dough balls on prepared baking sheets at least 2 inches apart, they will spread quite a bit. Bake for ⏱️ 8-12 minutes (see note). Be careful not to overbake. The center of the cookie should still look slightly underdone when you pull them from the oven. Place the baking sheets on wire racks to cool completely.
6
After cooling, the cookies can be dunked or drizzled in melted white chocolate. If you'd like you can also add sprinkles to the cookies while the chocolate is still wet. After adding the white chocolate I transfer the cookies to the refrigerator just until the white chocolate firms up.
