For a deeper molasses flavor, use blackstrap molasses. If your dough is too sticky to roll, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before shaping into balls. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. These cookies are delicious served with a glass of cold milk or a warm cup of coffee.
