Flour Bakery's Ginger Molasses Cookies

Chewy and soft ginger molasses cookies that are easy to throw together and treat the family.  

I have tried many ginger molasses cookie recipes over the years, and I'm here to tell you the Flour Bakery's ginger molasses cookie recipe is the best.

It might be the addition of ground cloves or that the recipe calls for refrigerating the dough for several hours/overnight before baking.  I think in the case of ginger molasses cookies, the refrigeration factor is an important one allowing the strong tastes of molasses and cloves to blend together thoroughly before cooking time.

The recipe calls for cooking until slightly browned and crackly on top.  Ginger molasses cookies are best when they're nice and chewy - yum.

By the way, these are much better than the highly touted Starbucks ginger molasses cookie recipe, I promise.

Its funny, but ginger cookies have always seemed "healthier" to me than other cookies.

I guess its the wholesome goodness of ginger and the anti-inflammatory properties of cinnamon.  Who knows, but its super nice to enjoy such a delicious treat knowing its not all bad for you.

Hope you enjoy these too.  Oh, I almost forgot to mention - this one is super easy too.
