Warmly spiced and irresistibly chewy, these cookies deliver everything you want from a good ginger molasses batch. Ginger and cinnamon meet dark molasses in a soft dough that's rolled in sugar for a sparkly, crackled finish. They fill the kitchen with the smell of the holidays as they bake, though honestly they're welcome on the cookie plate any time of year.
