Notes
- The cookie dough will be pretty thick.
- Use a cookie scoop to help scoop balls of dough.
- Fully coat the balls of dough in sugar coating.
- If desired, sugar coating can be omitted. The cookies will be less crunchy. The sugar gives them a nice coating.
- If you do not have molasses, date syrup or maple syrup can be used in its place.
- Do not over bake cookies. Remove from oven when the middles are barely set and edges have started to crisp up.
- These cookies will firm up at room temperature.
