These cookies are super spiced, calling for cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and clove. The key ingredient is the addition of molasses, making them extra moist and giving them another depth of flavor. These are the perfect warming cookies to make during the colder months, not just for Christmas alone. If you want a sweeter cookie, you can roll your dough balls in brown sugar before baking.
