Ginger cookies

Description

Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. You might find the ingredient molasses a bit unusual. But it's just ordinary sugar syrup. You can find it in many stores. If you can't, simply substitute it with thick honey. The cookies take only 30 minutes to prepare, so go ahead and get started. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
