Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies
These chewy ginger molasses cookies taste just like the holidays! The perfect amount of seasonal spices and molasses. Chewy and delicious!
Cookie season is upon us, and these chewy ginger molasses cookies are the perfect cookies that scream Christmas!
I’ve never been a fan of good old fashioned gingerbread cookies. I always thought they were either too dry, or just not tasty. Maybe it was the overpowering ginger/spice flavors.
These cookies are the perfect balance of flavors.
They have the perfect balance of flavors. And they have sweet, decadent molasses, which adds the best sweetness!
Are you a chewy cookie person, or crunchy? I am all for chewy cookies! If its hard and crunchy, forget it!
Chewy cookies just add to the flavor. Flavor and texture go hand in hand!
Every cookie recipe I make, or create, I make sure they come out soft and chewy! So if your a fan of chewy cookies like I am, make sure to check out my other cookies recipes, like this one for chocolate chip sugar cookies https://thehungrylyoness.com/chocolate-chip-sugar-cookies/
