For a deeper molasses flavor, use blackstrap molasses. Chilling the dough is essential to prevent the cookies from spreading too thin during baking. Store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain their chewy texture. If they become slightly dry, add a slice of fresh bread to the container for a few hours to restore moisture.
