Chewy Gingerbread Cookies image

These are easy to make chewy gingerbread cookies. They taste just like Christmas with their touch of molasses and a perfect blend of spices. The batter is soft, but don't be dismayed. Just gently roll the balls and dip into the white sugar. Pop them in the oven and in minutes you have the perfect treat for the holidays.

1/8 tsp allspice
1/3 c butter, softened
1/2 c sugar
1 egg
3 Tbsp molasses
3 Tbsp white sugar (for rolling cookies)

I wouldn't recommend this recipe. The cookies were bland and lacked flavor.

These cookies were a disaster! They spread out too much and ended up being too thin and crispy.

I had trouble getting the cookies to spread out evenly. They ended up being more like gingerbread bars.
