If there’s one cookie that guarantees warmth and comfort, it’s Ginger Molasses Soft Drops. These golden gems are perfectly spiced, ultra-soft, and finished with a crackly sugar crust.

What sets these cookies apart is their irresistible texture: pillowy soft inside, gently spiced, and bathed in molasses for depth and moisture. Rolling each ball in sugar creates the signature sparkly, sweet crust and a bakery-style look.
