Ginger Cinnamon Molasses Cookies - 2 Ways

I don’t think I have ever baked cookies as frequently as I am doing this year. Last weekend, I baked these Ginger Cinnamon Molasses Cookies with my little elf. It was crunchy, crumbly and the ratio of ginger with cinnamon was just perfect. At first, I was a little worried if Avyan will approve of these cookies because he wants chocolate or frosting all the time. Thankfully, he loved it, although he thought they had chocolate because of the color. You see, I made the dough on the previous day while he was in school. Clever mommy act, right?

You can bake the Ginger Cinnamon Molasses Cookies - 2 WAYS :

I like a snappy ginger cookies but my kid and my husband likes chewy cookies, so I ended up baking it 2 ways! Make it chewy: To make it soft and chewy place the rolled dough balls in the cookie sheet. As it bakes, it will spread and bake to perfection. Make it crispy: You place the cookie dough balls on the cookie sheet and pressed it flat. Then baked it tad bit longer for that perfect snap.

Prior to becoming a Mom of my handsome little fella, I didn’t have a sweet tooth at all. And then, boom! From 6th months onward, I started feeling the sweet craving and now almost 5 years later, the love for sweets is still on. Having said that, I still don’t like anything too sugary. I stay far away from frosting and heavily loaded icing. Those treats are typically baked only for my little helper.

These ginger cookies tastes amazing with milk, tea or even mulled wine!

We all know that cookies taste best with a tall glass of milk but these are surprisingly amazing even with a glass of mulled wine and even better with a cup of piping hot milk ginger tea. So, if you haven’t tried gingersnap cookies yet and you enjoy the flavor of ginger, you have got to bake these. These cookies didn’t last long and got over a lot before than I had imagined!
