PanBanging Ginger Molasses Cookies
Photo by Sarah Kieffer

I had to sneak in this pan-banging ginger molasses cookie recipe from my website into my book, 100 Cookies. The warm spices highlighted in this crinkled cookie are always welcome in the cool winter months, but I do find myself often making it in the heat of the summer. This cookie gets a lot of ripples, and has a nice crunch due to the sprinkle of sugar.
