Warm with ginger, cinnamon, and clove, these molasses cookies bake up soft and chewy with a crackly, sugar-dusted top. Chilling the dough deepens the spice and makes the balls easy to roll, so a little patience pays off. They fill the kitchen with the smell of the holidays, though honestly they are too good to save for December alone.
