Preheat oven to 375°F.

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar using an electric mixer until fluffy.
Add the egg and molasses to the butter mixture; mix well.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until well blended.
Divide the dough into 2 portions. Roll dough to 0.125-inch thickness on a floured surface.
