Steps

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the egg, molasses, and vanilla extract until well combined.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
• In a small bowl, mix together the coating ingredients: granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
• Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and roll each ball in the coating mixture until evenly coated.
• Place the coated dough balls onto a baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are slightly cracked on top.
• Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
