Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, softened/room temperature
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 1 egg
• 1 3/4 cup flour
• 1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (optional)
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• About 1 teaspoon of raw sugar to sprinkle over top (optional, but these sugar crystals add a nice texture to the cookies)
