Soft Molasses Cookies

These chewy, Soft Molasses Cookies are just perfect! They are slightly crispy on the edges, chewy in the middle with a kick of ginger flavor and rolled in sugar for a sweet finish. These are the perfect Christmas Cookies to share with you family and friends.

I’ll admit I have not started yet, on my annual Christmas cookie haul yet. I had every intention of doing it during our Thanksgiving break but I chose to lay on the couch instead. I have ZERO regrets.


I absolutely love making Christmas cookies, because I love packaging them up all cute and sending them to my family and friends. Is there anything better than getting a box of homemade cookies in the mail? I think not my friend.

My friends at Rodelle told me they were hosting a virtual cookie exchange and of course I wanted to join in!

For this year’s cookie exchange, I made Soft and Chewy Molasses Cookies! These are just perfect! They are slightly crispy on the edges, chewy in the middle with a kick of ginger flavor and rolled in sugar for a sweet finish.

I have another recipe for soft-baked molasses cookies, but this chewy molasses cookies most resemble my favorite snickerdoodle cookie recipe which just gets the best reviews. See all those cracks and crevasses? That’s how you KNOW it’s going to be good.
