Grandma's Molasses Cookies

"These Molasses Sugar Cookies are soft and chewy and remind us of the cookies my grandma used to make. Made with softened butter, ginger, cinnamon, and molasses they really are a great cookie around the holidays, but once you taste them you might not be able to stop yourself from making them year round. They have quickly become a favorite in our house and like most cookies, they are complimented perfectly by a nice cold glass of milk."
