Fresh from the oven, I kind of wanted to call these Ginger Chocolate Cookies, but once cooled, the chocolatey flavor started to shine and the wonderful warmth and chewiness from the molasses came out, so I guess we’ll go with the author’s original name for them: Chocolate Molasses Cookies! Whatever you call them, they’re scrumptious, bold in flavor and perfect for holiday cookie gifting - if you can bear to give them away!
