Ginger Molasses Cookies

Ginger Molasses Cookies

"Ginger Molasses Cookies are one of my favorite Christmas treats. They’re super chewy and taste just like how grandma used to make them. Warm, spiced, and irresistible. Let’s walk through a recipe that’s simple to make and impossible to forget. Two other favorite cookies grandma always made are these Toffee Cookies Recipe and these Pistachio Shortbread Cookies. These perfectly chewy molasses ginger cookies are pure comfort. Our version is one to bookmark because they have the perfect texture, flavor, and is so easy. The combination of bold spices (ginger, cinnamon, and cloves) with the rich, deep flavor of molasses creates a warm, aromatic, and comforting cookie that is a holiday and fall baking staple. The recipe’s high ratio of baking soda and the use of molasses result in a signature texture. The cookies are soft and chewy on the inside, with a slightly crisp edge, and a beautiful, crackled, sparkling sugar coating on top. The instructions are easy to follow, making this a reliable recipe for bakers of all skill levels. The dough is easy to work with, and the results are consistently excellent."
