Preheat the oven to 350. Cream together the sugar, butter, and sugar. Add the eggs and molasses and mix until combined.
Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Mix until just combined.
If making a pazookie, add dough into a greased pan and sprinkle sugar on top. If making normal cookies, roll dough into balls and roll in sugar.
Cook at 350. If making a pazookie, bake for 12-18 minutes, depending how big your pan is. If making cookies, bake for 8-12 minutes.
Top the pazookie with vanilla ice cream and dive in! Enjoy!
