Mmm! Bite into classic soft, melt-in-your-mouth molasses cookies for a yummy bit of nostalgia.

Excellent recipe. I used puréed ginger which added another dimension of flavor. Will make again. Cookies freeze well also.

The cookies were ok but hard to roll dough was dry and followed the directions I would suggest 1/4C less flour and they would be perfect.

This recipe worked great. I'm not much of a cook and followed it to the T and they came out perfect. Came out so well I would have thought they were the great molasses cookies my mom made. I used a counter mixer and used a small scoop as I see another review person wrote and it worked just great.

A wonderful recipe! I made it exactly as the recipe said except I used my mixer both to mix the wet ingredients AND to blend the wet and dry ingredients together. The consistency was perfect this way. The cooking time was 15 minutes. Cooking time is key to getting a cookie that is chewy and not crispy all the way through. I used a small ice cream scoop to form the dough ball, then dipped the ball in sugar as the recipe calls for and the cookies came out sparkly on top. Then I tried dipping them in Turbinado cane sugar instead of white sugar and it was a nice alternative, giving the cookie a sugary crunch when cool. Spaced a couple of inches apart on the cookie sheet, the cookies spread out beautifully to a perfect circle. This is an attractive and tasty cookie. It's a great afternoon cookie with tea!

I finally got these baked. I added soured skim milk just until the dough held together and got good results. You may be thinking I measured something wrong but, honestly, I don't think I did.

I think this needs more liquid. I cannot get the dough to hold together. I don't think just 1/4 cup less flour as suggested by rbalhill would be enough. I thinking of adding another egg????

These are the best cookies ever! Even my kids, who are picky eaters and don't like sweets, gobble them up! However, I found that instead of mixing in 2 1/4 cups of flour in, just mix in 2.

My family loves a good 'Ginger Snap' and/or 'Molasses' cookie, but are very picky in what they like vs. what they do not. I made this recipes from the cookbook and have to tell you that they were some of the best tasting molasses cookies I've had! The only reason I gave this recipe 4 spoons is because you have to be VERY careful to not over cook them. You can't really tell if they are done cooking by looking at them - you just have to get to know you stove. if you do over cook - they will still taste great, but be hard. I still HIGHLY recommend you try this recipe though!
