Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large, microwave-safe bowl, stir together the molasses, sugar, cinnamon, and ginger.
Microwave until the brown sugar has melted, about 60 seconds.
Add the butter, and mix until the butter has melted.
Continue mixing until well-combined and the butter has cooled slightly.
Mix in the eggs until well-combined.
Add the flour and baking soda, and stir in just until incorporated.
Transfer the dough to a well-floured surface.
Roll to 1/4-inch thick.
Cut dough into desired shapes, re-rolling the scraps as needed.
Bake until the cookies are puffed and soft in the center, about 10 minutes.
Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes and then transfer to a baking sheet to finish cooling.
Let the cookies cool to room temperature before decorating.

Notes
Molasses:
I don’t recommend using blackstrap molasses.
Brown sugar:
Using dark brown sugar will give you richer flavor. You can light brown sugar if you prefer.
Butter:
I use salted butter in this recipe. If you’re using unsalted butter, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Flour:
Be sure to properly measure the flour. Stir or sift the flour. Lightly spoon into a measuring cup and then level.
Spices:
The cookies are lightly spiced. If you like stronger spices, feel free to increase the spices.
