For a softer cookie, slightly underbake them. For a crispier cookie, bake them a minute or two longer. Use a good quality molasses for the best flavor. Chilling the dough is crucial for preventing the cookies from spreading too much during baking. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
