Ginger Molasses Cookie Recipe Recommended Tools

  • Cookie Scoop: I personally like to have my cookies and baked goods symmetrical so a good scoop will always help with this.
  • Glass Mixing Bowls: A good deep mixing bow is key especially if you don’t have a big stand mixer.
  • Rubber Spatulas: I’m absolutely obsessed with these. I may or may not have 8 of them in my kitchen. Make sure you get all that cookie goodness out of the bowl. It makes clean up way nicer too!

Ginger Molasses Cooke Recipe

This recipe was given to my mom by an old friend. I grew up making this recipe with my brother and mother during the holidays. These cookies are so good that my godfather would always request them for his birthday in February. My brother and I were always okay with having these cookies again any time of year.

If you can, try to save a couple of these for yourself while you are baking. Try to enjoy them a few minutes after they come out from the oven. When they are warm and fresh, it will push you over the edge!
