Ingredients:

 * 2 cups whole spelt flour
 * 2 teaspoons baking soda
 * 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
 * 1 teaspoon ground ginger
 * 3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
 * 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
 * 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted (I used coconut oil)
 * 1/3 cup granulated sugar (I didn't use)
 * 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed (Used my Costco coconut palm sugar)
 * 1/3 cup mild molasses
 * 1 large egg
 * Sanding, raw, or granulated sugar (for rolling)

Method:
Preheat oven to 375. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk to combine and set aside. In an electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add molasses and egg; beat to combine. ( I didn't use mixer, just hands) Mix dry ingredients into butter mixture until just combined. Place sanding sugar in a shallow bowl. Scoop out dough by the tablespoonful and roll into balls (if dough is sticky, chill 20 minutes). Roll in sugar and place on baking sheets, spacing 2″ apart. Bake 8-10 minutes, or until cookies are puffed, cracked, and just set around edges. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely. ==Rating:==
