Golden brown with a sugared, crinkled surface, these molasses cookies are as beautiful as they are tasty. Filled with ginger (2 teaspoons!), cinnamon, ground cloves, and nutmeg, the cookies are deeply spiced, yet not overwhelming. They’re soft, fluffy, and perfectly chewy. These cookies maintain their texture for days and freeze well, making them a great option for holiday gifting. They’ve become a staple on my holiday cookie plate. This year I’ll be attempting a plant-friendly version of these cookies, using plant-based butter and a flax egg. Can’t wait to see how they turn out! Stay tuned.
