  • You'll love these soft homemade chewy molasses cookies! They're easy to make, richly-spiced, and a favorite for holiday cookie platters and all year round! If you’ve never had this classic cookie, they’re similar to gingerbread cookies in all the best ways! By the by, you can definitely use dark treacle in place of molasses if needed.

    I love the taste of molasses, even blackstrap, it’s an old school taste but if you can get past the bitterness it’s a really complex sweetener

      Heat your molasses on the stove and add a pinch or two of soda and stir and take off burner.

    I made these cookies today and they are chewy and delicious. Thank you. Only one problem-->they dont look like yours; no cracks. Maybe because l used no brown sugar but molasses and organic raw cane sugar. I wanted to make them as healthy as possible; even using a range-free egg. I wonder what l did wrong following your directions. Btw, my friend, molasses *lS* delicious 😋...lol.

    Must be a southern thing because I love molasses. If you’ve only had the store bought kind that is the problem. Growing up it was a treat to pour molasses over softened butter on my plate mixing it up with my fork then eating it on toast or biscuit, it was and still is the best! Now I’m going to have to have some! Yes, molasses cookies are the best and will be making yours!

    Molasses is a byproduct of the sugar-making process, and it comes from crushed sugar cane or sugar beets. First, manufacturers crush sugar cane or sugar beets to extract the juice. They then boil down the juice to form sugar crystals.

      M L okay so I made it, but I kind of messed up the recipe 🤣 I pulled out the 1/3 measuring cup instead of 1/4. It called for 3/4 cup of sugar, accidentally did 1 cup 😳 and I added more spices. In total I did 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon, only 1/2 teaspoon ginger, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon cloves. Even though I kinda messed up, IT WAS THE BEST COOKIE EVER! It was perfectly spiced, and made big chewy/soft cookies. I baked for about 10 mins and other than the spices and the sugar, I followed the recipe EXACT.

      Robert Dabbs yes my cookies tasted exactly like gingerbread. Will always have molasses on hand now

      @@Truthbetold144 -- Good to know that even with the add'l sugar they still came out good. I think the add'l spices probably helped offset the added sweetness. Thanks for sharing.
