Gingered Molasses Cookies
A nice blend of spices and grated orange peel makes these a little different than your basic molasses cookies. My son loved these when he was growing up.

I wanted to try a different type of cookie, and chose this one. I did the recipe exactly as written and they turned out great. The spices were just right. A very delicious cookie.
