Molasses Cookies

[@luciamary5641]

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

[@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.

[@Carsonrose75]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@lindajohnson1035]

Thanks for the carrot stick idea.

[@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!!

[@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

[@tinaknutsen]

They sell here in western Washington state in the vegan restaurants.

[@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)

[@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.

[@janniefunster1]

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

[@mntervuren3753]

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

[@adonian]

Try it in French toast 🤤

[@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

[@GeraldineOBryan]

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

[@valeriebrown4769]

Hi John we love these cookies so much. The only thing I always add is some chopped crystallized ginger. Adds to the flavor and chewiness. I love you and your channel. Many thanks for always making me smile. 😊🙋‍♀️🇨🇦

[@fayedalton8810]

I am from the south and we made molasses, so I grew up eating them. My Mom would make fresh biscuits and we would poor the molasses over the hot biscuit with butter. Love it. Thanks good recipe.

[@taylorwoodford4728]

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!

[@cherylcheng7863]

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

[@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.

[@marwacrazycakes4140]

I used to have 2 spoonful of molasses in the morning daily when I was a kid and I love it, it’s great for people low on iron or anemic

[@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

[@marcygidlof6581]

We made these and added chopped candied ginger. Soooo yummy!

[@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

It’s not honey 🤔

[@jenniegust9982]

Many health benefits and good for cannabis plants too!

[@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

[@laceyb3729]

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

[@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

[@JessyJ318]

Archway in the 90s made molasses cookies so good! They were soft, chewy and would stick to the paper. They literally don’t make them the same now they’re coated with sugar and even the soft version is hard relative to the previous version….💔💔💔

[@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

I love molasses. Molasses and butter on biscuits is amazing.

[@pennysilvey8868]

I absolutely love the taste of molasses. I can eat it with a spoon. When I was a kid, and still do occasionally, I mixed softened butter with it, and put it on warm biscuits. There’s nothing like it. I like it as well as I like honey.

[@stuartkinzel8195]

I made these this weekend. Boy, are they delicious. People at work seem to really like them too. Preppy Kitchen is definitely my first stop for baked goods recipes.

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

I love cookies thanks John doing good as always

[@galeem713]

One of my fav breakfasts was a slice of bread slathered with molasses and put in the oven for a bit. When they come out, you put butter on it and then eat. My molasses cookies are different and people love them.

[@Holmer188]

I grew up eating molasses on pancakes at my great grandma’s house. I love the taste. It brings back great memories.

[@rickharks4515]

hi this is the wife, l love having a tablespoon of molasses a couple times a week, more calcium in 2 tbs than a glass of milk.,l grew up on molasses cookies my auntie would make them all of the time and when we would get there we headed right to the cookie tin, and we also had them with some butter on the botton of them. they were never rolled in sugar. but they were to die for.

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.

[@Truthbetold144]

I literally just purchased molasses to make molasses cookies!

[@robertdabbs2606]

Molasses is also a key flavor in Gingerbread. I always keep it on hand.

[@ML-xh6rd]

Let us know how they turn out.

[@Truthbetold144]

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.

[@Truthbetold144]

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

[@ML-xh6rd]

@@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.

These are my fav cookies. Always have been. When i was a child my mother made us kids take a tablespoon of mollasis every morning so we would get the minerals we needed.

[@PinkNerdd]

I know this is a no chill dough recipe but due to how my dough came out there was no feasible way to form my cookies. I chilled my dough for just over an hour and it was so much easier to work with! The cookies came out great as well! If you have this issue, I suggest taking this extra step.

[@ballofballs2573]

I tasted the dough rn and it tastes amazing , like caramel toffee im going to chill them for a bit If the dough is amazing, the cookie will be too !!!

[@maryschrum7044]

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!

[@matthewmilford4214]

In case anyone is curious, the cookie scoop number is the number of cookies yielded by one quart of batter using that scoop. Use a #24 to get 2 dozen cookies from a quart of batter. Also, a cookie scoop is ill suited to scooping hard ice cream. You'll break the sweeper if you try.

I was raised on molasses ; my grandmother made her own and used it as a topping on oatmeal and biscuits.

[@hereholdthiswillya]

I just made these without adding the brown sugar. (Operator error) but I'm telling you, while they are slightly less chewy, they are light and wonderful. I would decrease the stronger spices like ginger and clove just a hair, but then would totally give them to someone with diabetes or on a diet. They are spicy but so light

Hi there John & family! Happy holidays!🎉 Molasses comes from sugar cane. Once it's processed, it turns into sugar. In fact, brown sugar is granular sugar w/ molasses added to it. I'm Panamanian, and down here folks add it to coffee, lemonade (instead of regular sugar). One interesting fact, if one has an opened wound, one smears molasses several times a day & after a few days, voilà, the wound will be cured. The secret? Iron. Molasses is full of iron!
