Apparently, yesterday was Ginger Awareness Day.
Now technically, I believe this is supposed to be a day to recognize redheads. Now, since I am not a redhead (although I desperately WANT to be one, and I truly believe that I would make a smokin' hot redhead, like this lovely lady), I celebrated the second-best kind of ginger out there, and made a batch of these ginger molasses cookies—my new favorite cookie. (Really. They even beat out the chocolate chip kind.)
I originally saw these over here and they just looked so delicious to me that I just had to make them for myself. I have now made them too many times to count, and have adjusted the recipe a teeny, tiny bit, making them even more amazing.
Try them. You won't be sorry.
