Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the molasses and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.
Flatten each dough ball slightly with the palm of your hand.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy!
