MOLASSES SUGAR COOKIES

I RECEIVED THIS RECIPE FROM A NEWSLETTER WHICH I BELONG TO. UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T HAVE THE NAME OF THE PERSON WHO POSTED IT, IN ORDER TO GIVE HER THE CREDIT. THEY ARE EVERYTHING SHE SAID THEY WERE, PLUS VERY DELICIOUS.
SHE WROTE: THESE ARE SOFT AND CHEWY IF YOU DON'T COOK THEM TOO LONG!!. YOU CAN CHANGE THE SPICES AS YOU LIKE... I SOMETIMES HALVE THE CINNAMON AND DOUBLE THE GINGER TO MAKE THEM LIKE GINGERBREAD. IF YOU FLATTEN THE BALLS AND COOK THEM A BIT LONGER THEY ARE CRISP.
