In a separate large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until creamy. Add egg and molasses, and mix well.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Roll out one portion of the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out wreath shapes.

Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden brown.

Allow the wreaths to cool completely on a wire rack.
