Ginger Cookies
Ginger Cookies blend warm spices like ground ginger, cinnamon, and cloves into a creamy butter and sugar dough, sweetened further with molasses. Rolled in sugar before baking, they develop a lightly crisp exterior with a soft, aromatic center. These cookies balance intense ginger spice with a rich molasses depth, making them a richly spiced baked treat for snacking.
