Easy Thin Crinkled Ginger Molasses Cookies recipe. These cookies are so soft and chewy, they will become your new favourite dessert idea.
Have I ever told you about my obsession with ginger?
Granted, I hate grating ginger. I have been making a lot of dishes with grated ginger recently, (sadly I haven’t documented any of these with pictures. But I will make them again soon enough) and I can’t get past all the stringy wet bits. I’m obviously a novice at this cooking business, but cooking with ginger has become my new favorite thing.
And baking with (ground) ginger? Well that’s a whole other story.
Whether it’s in muffins, bread, or drinks, I am always looking for places to dump some ground ginger into. My next experiment will be to try fresh ginger in my baking.

I love ginger cookies! I still use my grandmother's recipe, and I think they're awesome.
Oh! I definitely think I`ll love these cookies. I have some ground ginger and don`t use it often. I think these cookies will be an excellent excuse for me to bake. Haha~
These cookies look so amazing – that crackly top is a beautiful thing! I didn't appreciate cooking & baking with ginger that much until pretty recently and it gives things such a great little kick of spice, not to mention it's good for us!
