Molasses Cookies

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 buy my molasses from the sugar factory here in Barbados. I love it. One teaspoon in hot water taste like coffee and it is good for anemia ( in my personal experience).

[@swagsarang7381]

I have anaemia. It has not got better for over 1 year. Thanks for the tips I will try it

[@nix6343]

@@swagsarang7381 did it help??

[@alkggkla5643]

Molasses is an excellent source of iron! Vegans sometimes use it for that very reason

[@brieannastauffer3343]

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

[@peshgirl]

Did you see Binging with Babish used your recipe for macarons on his episode today? Here's hoping you get all the clicks you deserve!

[@Mashariki_0]

I was elated to see that shout out

[@AkselTheBookWizard]

I saw that too and honestly 'whooped' a little. This guy is so underrated. He's easily got the most user friendly videos. I've made about six of his recipes in the last few weeks because everything is so clearly explained.

[@vanvan1018]

I was just thinking about that!!! So great

[@rudabanasir6796]

I was about to comment the same thing!

[@rebeccasunflower]

I went straight to the comments section here because of the Babish shoutout!!

[@mntervuren3753]

Molasses dribbled on a slice of warm-from-the-oven freshly baked whole wheat bread... Yum

[@adonian]

Try it in French toast 🤤

[@nouranahhas7212]

In the middle east countries, we eat molasses with tahini, its delicious😋😋

[@alaaalmetwally7019]

Dates molasses not the one he’s using in this recipe, but if you’re talking about dates molasses with tahini it’s so good, specially the Iraqi dates molasses

[@corneliusdinkmeyer2190]

I love molasses!!! I grew up on molasses cookies. It was the only kind of cookies my dad would let my mom make. I even put molasses on my cereal.

[@HannahAnn412]

I actually like molasses 😂 Especially on buttermilk biscuits.

[@karren_.]

What is molasses I'm really lost heh...

[@sweetangiegirl1]

Yes! Fresh from the oven.

[@karren_.]

@Furbyy Ohh know I get it XD

[@adonian]

Do it on French toast 🤤

[@laceyb3729]

Ok but can we talk about johns apron?! Adorable!! Love that you’re switching it up for the holidays 🥰

[@rexwater1]

Guage number is how many scoops in a quart...so a 24 will give 24 scoops from a quart of dough. A 70 will be a smaller scoop....yielding 70 scoops from a quart.

[@macybrewster3062]

Ok

[@ML-xh6rd]

Thanks Rex! I enjoy learning these types of things.

[@barbiek3987]

Canada here. I use Cosby's Molasses. They have many recipes for using molasses. My husband loves carrot sticks sauteed with molasses and butter. So many recipes to use molasses. Yummm Oh btw, love the recipe for soft gingersnaps.

[@markwpatterson]

I just made these. Wow! Maybe the best cookie I've ever tried to make. I grew up in 'The South'...so there was always a jar of molasses on the table when buttermilk biscuits & melted butter were served. So I LOVE the taste of even a spoon full of just plain, ole molasses! I didn't have any ground ginger but I did have some beautiful candied ginger & I chopped about a half a cup & added to the mix. And I can NEVER have too many warm spices so I added allspice, nutmeg & cloves. I always loved lemon &/or orange sauce over warm gingerbread so I added some fresh (I have loads of citrus in the garden!) blood orange & Eureka lemon zest to the mix. WOW! THANK YOU for all the recipes. Anything I try from you turns out SO good. Cheers

[@janniefunster1]

I like butter and molasses spread on thick slices of fresh-made bread. Yes!!!

[@tomwyant9297]

You're obviously not southern. LOL!!! We love a hot biscuit slathered with sweet butter and covered with molasses. Good ol' Blackstrap Molasses! And, yes, we think it's very "tasty". I've been making these cookies for over 30 years. They are our favorite Christmas cookie. In fact, we call them "The Christmas Cookie". I make the cookie dough, roll it into balls, coat it with sugar, and freeze on parchment paper lined cookie sheets. I store the frozen dough balls in Ziploc bags so we can bake a few at a time as we want them. I have six dozen dough balls in the freezer right now that I made three nights ago. They don't last long so I make a double batch each time. They are good anytime, but they are especially good at Christmas. As a matter of fact, I think I'll go take a few out of the freezer right now and bake them for us to have as an afternoon snack with a glass of milk. Try a good hot homemade biscuit with some butter and molasses. You can thank me later.

[@rebeccabourque7704]

I’m not a very big cookie fan, however I LOVE molasses cookies. I haven’t made them for awhile but this video made me add them to my baking list for this year.

[@_ideahistory]

Every time we try one of your recipes, they turn out so perfect! Keep ‘em coming!

[@shariekahwooten3151]

I always have molasses in my cabinet..I do enjoy the taste of it with some homemade buttermilk biscuits...it may be a southern thing

[@katyamonarski4695]

Just made these cookies for the second time and they are out of this world! My boyfriend was obsessed, he says they’re his favorite thing I’ve ever made 😍 thanks so much John for this amazing, really quite easy recipe

I grew up eating molasses on my cornbread in Tennessee, still one of my favorite treats to this day! Molasses is one of my favorite flavors!

[@gloriouswellbeing]

your mood makes me feel so cosy and happy!

[@lillychambers-go4qz]

I'm so excited to be here when the post is FRESH! I finally got a stand mixed and I made your pastry cream recipe and your Italian meringue. I LOVE your recipes. 🥰

[@RosemarieTM]

I have taken 1tbs of blackstrap molasses every morning right from the spoon for the past 11yrs. Has helped my iron stores tremendously!

[@mgt4life575]

Molasses are good for you. My husband and I take a teaspoonful every morning. I will definitely give this a try. Thanks for sharing!

[@samanthab3292]

It's just sugar lol

Many health benefits and good for cannabis plants too!

[@cherylcheng7863]

I love molasses and really enjoy any recipe that uses it.

[@bridramirez6760]

Whenever I try a new recipe I always will use yours if possible. I had molasses sitting in my pantry and felt inspired to use it today. These cookies truly taste like Christmas and I'm excited to make them again for my family during the holidays

[@sherleescott]

Love molasses! I grew up in Nova Scotia where the molasses jug was always on the table. After a meal a fresh slice of homemade bread topped with Molasses was the Norm... Molasses cookies regardless of time of the year were a staple in the pantry. It is so healthy source of iron, selenium, copper and calcium all good for bone health . 1 Tbsp.Blackstrap molasses contains 20% of the iron you each day. Yes and as stated below good for anemia...( personal experience as well)

[@missidoleyes]

Mix molasses with tahini. Yummm. Healthy alternative to Nutella.

[@katiedrew2223]

Just watched Binging with Babish where he posted a video where he credited your macaroon recipe. So excited to get a double dose of your recipes today!

[@rebeccasunflower]

I was so excited when I saw that! John seriously deserves the attention!

[@leighaburris5287]

Its so relaxing! I love creating!

[@salc9593]

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.

[@tiff138]

SO GOOD!

[@danielm872]

I love that apron!

My grandmother used to make molasses cookies when I was a kid before she died. To this day, they are still the best cookies I have ever had... and I haven't had them in like 30 years. She unfortunately took her recipes to the grave with her.

[@stonechops]

Hi John, the other day I made brown sugar! It was incredible! I twirled around, showed off the silky texture to anyone near me...it was all because of you! I’m still amazed.
