    COOK’S NOTES FOR CHEWY GINGER CRINKLE COOKIES

    • These chewy ginger crinkle cookies are molasses cookies with ground ginger, cinnamon, and cloves.
    • You can substitute the same amount of all-purpose flour for gluten-free flour.
    • They are both gluten-free and dairy-free. 
    • STORE Ginger Molasses Cookies in a clean airtight container at room temp for up to 3 days. Freeze unbaked dough (without rolling in sugar) as well as baked cookies for 3 months. Thaw in the fridge! 

     

    WHAT KIND OF MOLASSES DO YOU USE FOR COOKIES?

    You can use regular dark molasses, although the best type is unsulphured molasses –which has the best flavor and is made out of sun-ripened cane that has grown 12-15 months. 
     

    CAN I USE BLACKSTRAP INSTEAD OF REGULAR MOLASSES?

    In theory you can use blackstrap at the same amount that the recipe calls for molasses. But be aware that you will wind up with a baked good with a quite strong aftertaste.
     
    Blackstrap is darker and has a much stronger flavor than regular molasses.
