Add the egg, molasses and vanilla and mix until thoroughly combined. 3.    Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined.

Roll level tablespoons of dough into balls. 5.    Pour granulated sugar into a bowl and coat each ball evenly with sugar before placing on an ungreased baking sheet. 6.    Bake for 10 minutes, or until set around the edges, but still slightly soft in the middle.
