These are my sons favorite cookies. They are soft on the inside and crispy on the outside with flavors of molasses and ginger. These contain no dairy for anyone who can’t tolerate it. These do need to go in the refrigerator for several hours or until the dough is firm so it’s best to plan ahead if you are making them. They can also sit in the refrigerator overnight.
