- Shape the dough into 2" balls.

Cup of Yum
Notes
- Lightly grease your measuring cup with oil or melted butter before pouring molasses. The molasses will slide right out.
- Make this recipe gluten free by replacing the all purpose flour with a gluten free flour blend.
- To keep the cookies uniformally sized, use a cookie scoop or a melon baller for the cookie dough.
- Storage: After baking, cool the cookies completely and store them in an airtight container. They will keep for up to a week (but I promise they won't last that long).
- To Freeze: Freeze the ginger cookies for up to three months. Pre freeze them in a single layer before packing in airtight freezer containers or bags.
