For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a pinch of ground cloves or nutmeg to the dry ingredients. If you prefer a chewier cookie, bake for a slightly shorter time. The dough can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Allow the dough to soften slightly at room temperature before rolling. These cookies freeze well. Store them in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Dust cookies with powdered sugar before serving for a festive look. Try using dark brown sugar for a richer, more intense molasses flavor.

Sep 6, 2023The chilling time is essential. My first batch spread too thin, but the second batch after chilling came out perfectly!
