SOFT AND CHEWY GINGER MOLASSES COOKIES

Basically, it’s just not the Christmas season without them.

I grew up eating these delightful little cookies and can’t live without them this time of year.

Once the soft ginger molasses cookies are baked – well, game on. It’s officially time to jingle the bells and trim the tree and blare the Christmas carols (except I’ve actually been playing Christmas music for weeks now – don’t sue me).
