  3. Beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until creamy.
  4. Add the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a thick dough forms.
  6. Scoop out the dough, roll into balls, and then roll in sugar.
