These Delicious Soft Ginger Cookies remind me of a molasses cookie. And it’s no secret that I absolutely love Molasses Cookies. I’ve posted several molasses cookie recipes here: Fat Archie’s and Rod’s Soft Molasses Cookies.
These cookies are so good that they may skyrocket to #1 of my all-time favorite cookies to make. A soft moist cookie with a nice hint of ginger. Make sure you refrigerate the dough for a minimum of 2 hours before you bake them!
