How to Make Dark Molasses Ginger Ginger Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened margarine, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 cup dark molasses, 2 tablespoons ground ginger, and 2 large eggs until well combined. Beat for 2 minutes for a light and fluffy mixture.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Drop rounded teaspoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  6. Lightly dip the bottom of a glass in water and gently flatten each cookie to about ¼ inch thickness.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
  8. Remove cookies from baking sheets and let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
