Recipe below contains my modifications.
Ingredients:
3/4 c. unsalted butter, softened
1 c. light brown sugar (packed)
1 large egg, room temperature and lightly beaten
1/4 c. molasses -- do NOT use robust or blackstrap
270g (2 1/4 c.) all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 T. ground ginger
1 tsp. ground cardamom
3/4 tsp. kosher salt
sanding sugar, for coating
Directions:
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together butter and brown sugar until creamed and fluffy (around 3-4 min).
2. Turn off mixer and add a third of the lightly beaten egg. Mix in on medium speed until combined, then repeat with the remaining thirds of the egg (a third at a time).
3. Add the molasses and mix until combined.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cardamom, and kosher salt. Add the flour mixture all at once to the stand mixer bowl. Mix together on low speed until just combined (you may wish/need to finish by hand).
5. Transfer bowl to fridge and let dough dough chill for 30 min.
6. Heat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment.
7. Shape dough into 1 1/2" balls, then roll in the sanding sugar. Place on prepared baking sheets, spacing balls at least 2" apart (2 1/2" or more is actually better).
8. Bake for 12 min, or until edge are set and golden brown. Let rest on baking sheet for 5 min before transferring to cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
