Smart Tips
-
Dough Consistency: If the dough is too soft to handle, chilling it in the refrigerator will make it easier to work with.
-
Flavor Variations: Feel free to adjust the spices according to your preference, or add other spices like nutmeg or allspice for different flavor profiles.
-
Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh and chewy.
-
Baking Time: Watch the baking time closely as molasses can cause the cookies to darken quickly. Remove them from the oven when they are just firm around the edges.
-
Serving Suggestion: These cookies pair wonderfully with a glass of milk or a cup of strong coffee.
