  3. Add molasses, egg and vanilla; beat well.
  4. Gradually beat in flour mixture on low speed until well mixed.
  5. You may chill dough for at least an hour or bake immediately.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  7. Shape dough into 1-inch balls.
  8. Roll in granulated sugar to coat.

  12. My tiny ones took only 4-5 minutes so keep an eye on them.
  13. Aim for underbaking just a bit. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.
