**Brer Rabbit Molasses Sugar Cookie**

**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup Brer Rabbit Full Flavor Molasses
– 1 large egg
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 teaspoons baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
– 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar, for rolling

**Instructions:**

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Add the Brer Rabbit Full Flavor Molasses, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix well until fully combined.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves until well combined.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Using a cookie scoop or your hands, shape the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar until coated.

7. Place the sugar-coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

8. Gently press down on each dough ball with the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern.

9. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.

10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
