My go-to autumn cookies are these Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies. They embody the fall season with a blend of spicy ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and rich molasses. They are so simple to make – all you need is a mixing bowl and spoon – and are guaranteed to make your home smell amazing.
I almost hesitated to share the recipe, since I make it all the time for holiday parties. But they say this is the season of giving, so here you are!
Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies
3/4 cup canola oil
