0 Preheat oven to 350 F.
1 Sift together the first 7 ingredients and set aside.
2 In a large bowl using a hand mixer or standing mixer, cream together butter and 1 cup of sugar until light and fluffy (about 1-2 minutes).
3 Add egg to the creamed butter mixture and beat another minute until combined.
4 Add molasses, orange zest and juice and combine.
5 Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet until they are all incorporated. Chill dough for one hour.
6 Shape dough into 1-inch balls then roll them in the remaining 2 tbsp of sugar.
7 Place the balls onto a silpat or parchment lined cookie sheet and slightly flatten using the palm of your hands (make sure cookies are placed about 2 inches away from each other since they will widen when baking).
8 Bake for 10-12 minutes.
9 Cool and serve.
