Mom’s Ginger Crisps Cookies are the kind of nostalgic treat that instantly brings warmth to the kitchen. These thin, chewy-crisp cookies are filled with the cozy flavors of ginger, cinnamon, and cloves, making them perfect for the holidays—or anytime you want a comforting cookie with just the right amount of spice. Rolled in sugar before baking, they develop a beautiful crackly top and a sweet crunch with every bite.
The balance of textures is what makes these cookies irresistible. They’re soft in the center but crisp around the edges, with a flavor that’s rich, slightly sweet, and warmly spiced. The molasses not only gives the cookies their signature chewiness but also deepens the flavor, pairing beautifully with the ground ginger.
These cookies are quick to make and bake in just 10 minutes, making them ideal for last-minute treats, gifting, or stocking the cookie jar. They pair wonderfully with a glass of milk, a cup of tea, or even holiday mulled wine.
