The night before Christmas Eve, I was up until 1 in the morning baking. To be fair, I had to finish some Christmas shopping after work so that added to the delay.
I have never made molasses cookies before, but I LURVE them. So it seemed a logical option to give it a go.
This recipe was perfect. You don’t get better molasses cookies than this.
The only fault was my own. I didn’t flatten the cookies any when I put them on the baking sheet because they didn’t say to do it in the recipe. The first time I try a recipe, I stick to it exactly. So my cookies were little molasses puff balls, but they were delicious puff balls!

Yum! Little delicious puff balls sound good. The only time I think I’ve had molasses cookies, they were store bought and though the flavor was pretty good, they were ROCK HARD. These look awesome though! 😀
They hardened a little the next day but weren’t rock hard thankfully.
Oooooh I’m curious. They look like pudgier ginger snaps. I’ve cooked with molasses before, and it was pretty awesome.
Smells horrible by itself though! I didn’t see that coming.
