2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/3 cup sugar
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup dark molasses
1/2 cup sugar for rolling the dough

Set Sun Oven out to preheat. Line the dehydrating racks with parchment paper or silicone baking mats or spray baking sheets with cooking spray. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, spices, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl using an electric mixture at medium-high speed, beat the butter with the brown sugar and 1/3 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Add the yolk and vanilla and beat until incorporated. Beat in molasses. Reduce to low speed and add the flour mixture until just incorporated. Dough will be soft.

Put the 1/2 cup sugar in a small bowl. Using moistened hands roll a heaping tablespoon of dough into a 1 1/2-inch ball. Drop the ball in the sugar. Make another two or three balls and toss to coat with sugar. Set them on the prepared racks or pans. Repeat with remaining dough.

Bake cookies in Sun Oven until the edges begin to set and the centers are still soft. Top racks may cook faster. Cool completely. Store your cookies in airtight containers.
