Soft And Chewy Molasses Crinkle Cookies

"These soft and chewy molasses crinkle cookies get their deep, dark flavor from dark brown sugar, a full half cup of molasses, and a blend of cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and cardamom. Using just an egg yolk keeps the centers soft, and a roll in coarse sugar gives molasses crinkles that crackled, sparkly top. It’s a forgiving recipe even for a beginner, and the cookies bake in just 9 minutes. Plenty of molasses cookie recipes call for baking until the edges look firm. This one is different. If you wait for firm edges here, you’ll end up with a hard cookie instead of a chewy one, so pull them out after 8 to 9 minutes while the centers still look soft and let them finish setting on the wire rack."
