Paleo Ginger Molasses Chews

I love molasses spice cookies. The sweet tangy spice is so comforting. These little cookies are delightful! They are crisp and chewy straight from the oven but when saved for the next day in a storage bag they become perfectly chewy. I used real molasses here. You could try yacon or maple syrup, they should work reasonably well. I also added some delicious crystallized ginger. It added a chewy surprise but feel free to leave it out if you don't want it.
