Ginger molasses cookies are essential for the holiday season. This particular recipe is my favorite, crafted to be both vegan and gluten-free without anyone noticing. These Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies feature the classic spices of ginger, cinnamon, and a hint of cloves, along with the delightful addition of sweet and fiery candied ginger chunks. The outcome is a soft and chewy molasses cookie with crisp edges and lovely crinkles that form during baking.
Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies differ from the hard and crunchy gingersnap style, but if you prefer that texture, the flavors remain the same. Simply bake them for an additional 1-2 minutes and store them with a loose cover instead of tightly sealed. This method is more effective in dry climates. In contrast, if you reside in a very humid area, you should keep them tightly covered to prevent them from becoming even softer! I love making these early in the season because they freeze so well, which frees up my time closer to the holidays for other activities.
These Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies make an excellent choice for cookie exchanges, holiday potlucks, or simply enjoying as a tasty and cozy treat during the season. Your home will be infused with the warm aromas of cinnamon, ginger, molasses, and cloves. Who needs an artificial candle for that gingerbread scent? Bake cookies!
This recipe is simple to prepare and yields a generous amount. The dough is tender, and the shaped balls are coated in granulated sugar, resulting in a lovely sparkle as the cookies bake and crackle.
Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies are vegan and gluten-free. Molasses is considered low-FODMAP at one teaspoon but can increase quickly if consumed in larger amounts. Each cookie contains about 1/2 teaspoon of molasses, allowing you to enjoy up to two cookies if you're monitoring FODMAP intake. Additionally, ginger can help alleviate digestive discomfort and may counteract IBS symptoms.
