Ginger Molasses Cookies are one of my husband’s favorite cookies so I always need to make him a batch each Christmas. The only thing he requests is that they are soft and chewy. And these fit that description to a T.
Unfortunately they were a little too good though. It took me a few days to find time to take pics so several disappeared on me before they made it safely to the freezer.
It’s a good thing this ginger molasses cookie recipe made a very large batch. I used a small cookie scoop and got 74 cookies.
