Old Fashioned Molasses Cookies

"These are basically a soft ginger snap. I made them for my 8 year olds class and they were fighting over the extras. I also made them for a very sweet older friend who said she hadn't tasted these since her mother made them when she was little, They make a ton and stay fresh for quite awhile. This works perfectly for Christmas or large amounts of company!"

  1. I would split the recipe in half. They make a lot. I gave many of them to family and friends They were a hit! Many thought they tasted like 'shoo fly pie'. I will be making these again and again.
     
  2. Why isn't the any cloves? This truly needs this ingredient. Doesn't taste like a "real" molasses cookie without out! We use real butter nor margarine taste is very different.
     
  3. Love 'em! I halved the recipe but should have made the whole thing because they were gone in a flash!
     
  4. The cookies turned out nice and chewy the way I like them, but I had been hoping for a stronger molasses flavor. In this recipe, we couldn't even taste the molasses.
     
  5. Great recipe! Great cookies! Enough to give away and still have plenty for my family. Thanks!
