Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Add the butter, brown and white sugars to a large mixing bowl. Use either a handheld mixer or a stand mixer. If you have a standing mixer then use the paddle attachment.
- Beat the butter and the sugars at medium-high speed until light and fluffy-about 3-minutes. Reduce the speed to medium-low and add the egg yolk and vanilla. Increase the speed to medium and beat until blended-about 20-30 seconds.
- Reduce speed to medium-low and add molasses. Beat until incorporated, about 20 seconds.
- Set a large mesh strainer over the mixing bowl and add the flour, baking soda, spices and salt. Sift the mixture down into the batter and give it a stir with your spatula (stirring the flour in a bit will prevent it from flying out of the bowl when you start the mixer.)
- Place the mixer on the lowest setting and beat just until the flour is completely blended.
- Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon and shape the dough in your hands forming 1-1/2 inch balls.
- Add the course sugar to a shallow dish. Roll the balls in the sugar and place them on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Leave space between each cookie.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven until they are browned, puffed up and the edges have begun to set while the centers are soft-about 11 minutes.
- The cookies will have those beautiful cracks and appear to be undercooked. Do not over bake, they will continue baking from residual heat once removed from the oven.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and leave the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Add the brown sugar, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes with mixer set at medium speed. Add egg, vanilla extract, and molasses. Beat until combined, about 30 seconds. Scrape down sides of bowl with a rubber spatula.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients: Add dry ingredients and beat at low speed until just combined, about 30 seconds.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a shallow bowl, place 1/2 cup sugar; set aside.
- With an electric mixer, beat butter and remaining cup of sugar until combined. Beat in egg and then molasses until combined. Reduce speed to low; gradually mix in dry ingredients, just until a dough forms.
- Pinch off and roll dough into balls, each equal to 1 tablespoon. Roll balls in reserved sugar to coat.
- Arrange balls on baking sheets, about 3 inches apart. Bake, one sheet at a time, until edges of cookies are just firm, 10 to 15 minutes (cookies can be baked two sheets at a time, but they will not crackle uniformly). Cool 1 minute on baking sheets; transfer to racks to cool completely.
