I love gingersnaps and molasses cookies. Always have. I like thin and crispy gingerbread cookies and I like a soft chewy molasses cookie. These are the soft & chewy kind. They have the perfect balance of flavors and they do not harden over time which is amazing. I will be making these around christmas time this year.
