1/2 cup light (mild) molasses

Roll cookie balls in regular sugar
Place cookie balls on baking sheet and press each cookie with two fingers (1/2 way to flat).

(***They will look a little undercooked when then come out....this is GOOD. Let them cool, then eat them. Don't over bake or they will get hard as soon as they are cool.)
