For a softer cookie, bake for the shorter end of the time range. For a crisper cookie, bake for the longer end. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. The flavors will continue to meld and deepen over the next day or two. Feel free to experiment with other mix-ins, such as chopped nuts or dried cranberries.

These spiced molasses cookies, studded with chocolate chips and raisins, develop a richer, deeper flavor when allowed to rest for a day or two. The warmth of cinnamon, ginger, and cloves perfectly complements the sweetness of molasses, creating a comforting treat that's hard to resist.
