Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 375 degrees F, setting the stage for baking perfection.

Butter-Molasses Magic: In a 3-quart saucepan, embark on the molten journey of flavors. Melt together 3/4 cup of margarine or butter over low heat, creating a velvety base. Remove the saucepan from the heat, and with a wire whisk, weave in the enchanting dance of 1 1/4 cups of light molasses and 1 cup of sugar until a harmonious blend emerges. Now, whisk in the egg, adding the final touch to this molasses symphony.
-
Flour Fusion: With a humble spoon, stir in 2 cups of all-purpose flour and the remaining enchanting ingredients until a delightful mixture takes form.
-
Chill and Roll: Transfer this molasses magic to a medium bowl and allow it to chill in the freezer for a magical 15 minutes or until it reaches the perfect firmness. Meanwhile, sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar on waxed paper. Once chilled, roll the dough into 1-inch balls, ensuring each ball is generously coated in the sugary sparkle.
-
Bake to Perfection: Place these molasses wonders, spaced 2 1/2 inches apart, on an ungreased, large cookie sheet. Watch as they dance in the heat of the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, transforming into golden delights. Let them cool on the cookie sheet for a minute before transferring to a wire rack.
-
Cooling Crescendo: Allow the cookies to gracefully cool on the wire rack, reaching the pinnacle of deliciousness.
-
Repeat and Revel: The magic doesn’t stop here! Repeat the process with the remaining dough, creating a symphony of molasses delights.
