Directions:
Sift together the first 6 dry ingredients.
Cream the butter and sugar.
Add the egg and beat until fully incorporated.
Add the orange juice and molasses until combined.
Add in the dry ingredients in small batches until just combined.
Refrigerate for 2-3 hours. If you can't, put in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350º.
In about 2 tablespoons balls, roll into the 1/4 cup sugar and flatten so it looks about the thickness of a double stuff Oreo, really thick but clearly flattened.
Bake for 9-11 minutes.
