Tips:
- Use dark molasses for a richer flavor. Light molasses can be used, but it will result in a lighter-colored and less flavorful cookie.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to spread less and keep their shape.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help to create chewy cookies with a crispy exterior.
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will help them to firm up and develop their full flavor.
