For a softer cookie, do not overbake. The centers should be just set. Feel free to experiment with other spices such as cinnamon, cloves, or nutmeg to add your own personal touch. These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For a chewier cookie, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
In a large bowl, combine the molasses, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until well combined, ensuring the sugar is mostly dissolved. Gently beat in the eggs until fully incorporated. (5 minutes)
03
Step
2 mins
In a separate small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the warm water, then add the cider vinegar. The mixture will fizz; this is expected. (2 minutes)
04
Step
10 mins
Add the baking soda mixture to the molasses mixture, stirring gently to combine. Gradually add the flour, mixing by hand until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough will be slightly sticky. (10 minutes)
05
Step
15 mins
Lightly flour a clean work surface. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface, and dust the top of the dough with flour. Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use cookie cutters or a knife to cut into desired shapes. (15 minutes)
06
Step
5 mins
Place the cookies onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving a small space between each cookie. (5 minutes)
07
Step
12 mins
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. (12 minutes)
08
Step
10 mins
Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)
