Notes
Can you freeze Ginger Molasses cookies? Store baked and cooled ginger molasses cookies in airtight freezer safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw on counter in container overnight.
What kind of molasses is best for baking? Dark Molasses is my favorite choice for baking. Blackstrap molasses is too intense for most recipes.
