    This recipe for Ginger Cookies is perfectly spiced, crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside. Great ginger and molasses flavour.

    My recipe for Ginger Cookies uses fancy molasses. For a bolder flavour try using cooking molasses or blackstrap molasses. These bakery style cookies will fly off the plate!

    Making cookies is one of those simple things in life that bring back fond memories of baking in the kitchen with our Mom's and Grandmas. There's nothing that compares to a fresh batch of cookies coming out of the oven, and kids eagerly waiting for them to cool off enough to enjoy. These Ginger Cookies fill the house with the wondrous, spicy aroma of fall flavours.

        It shouldn't be too sticky so you can roll it in a ball. I find coating my hands with a bit of butter helps the dough to roll into a ball better.
