Chewy and soft spicy molasses cookies are the perfect cozy cookie for Fall!

Just popping in after a few days full of lots of fun stuff! First there was Thanksgiving, then Saturday was my baby boy's 4th birthday + birthday party so it was a pretty eventful couple of days! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with tons of food and of course tons of dessert. Today I've got what has turned out to be one of my favorite cookie recipes! I took my favorite soft and chewy gingersnap cookie recipe and made it into more of a molasses-focused cookie and they are out of this world!

Chewy and soft spicy molasses cookies are the perfect cozy cookie for Fall!

The smell of these cookies alone is enough to make me swoon! They have a nice zing from the ginger and other spices and such a delicious molasses flavor. The use of dark brown sugar in the dough lends a richer, deeper flavor.

I bet you can't just stop at one!

You can get the full recipe and instructions over at DIXIE CRYSTALS!
