Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies
I’m not quite sure what’s happening to me, but I seem to be slowly but surely losing my sweet tooth.
If you knew me 10 years ago — heck, make that 2 years ago — this would be shocking.
A part of me is not entirely surprised, as I seem to be making healthier eating choices with each passing year. Although I’m still a huge believer in the “all things in moderation” philosophy, and always enjoy weaving some indulgences into my diet regularly. But I don’t know, lately, I seem to be craving all things savory all the time. Even just this weekend when choosing what to eat for dessert after Thanksgiving, I may or may not have opted for Chex Mix over pumpkin pie. Crazy!
Still, I am very much looking forward to holiday cookie season. And while I can appreciate healthier cookie recipes, I have to admit that I generally prefer to go for the real deal anytime and eat one instead of two or three. And oh man, when these chewy ginger molasses cookies come out of my oven, you’d better believe that no savory Chex mix is going to stand in my way.
These cookies have been my absolute favorite cookies to make each holiday season since I first learned how to bake. And as such, they were actually the very first cookie recipe I posted on this blog back in 2009. So since the recipe tends to get buried in the archives, I thought I would pull it back up today to share with any of you other molasses cookie lovers. Because trust me — it is a winner.
