Molasses Crinkle Cookies

Molasses Crinkle Cookies are perfect with your morning coffee or anytime of the day! Soft, chewy and great flavor. What’s not to love? Delicious!! 

Well Christmas is almost here. Not sure how that happened. I’m still not done with my shopping and I tell myself every year that I won’t do this to myself, but yet again, here I am. Have you made your holiday cookies yet? If you haven’t then you need to add these to your list. They’re delicious!

When I started cooking, I never knew how easy it was to make Molasses Crinkle Cookies. I always thought they were those cookies that only bakeries and stores made. Never knew you could actually make them yourself.

Fast forward 10 years and I’m sitting at my moms work when she says, “Do you want a Molasses Crinkle Cookie? Nancy made them and brought some in for us.”

Do I really need to answer that? “Yes of course I want one and please tell me how to make these, Mom?”

I love my mom! She’s seriously the best ever, but sometimes she forgets to tell me the important things in life. Like how I could make these Molasses Crinkle Cookie and I didn’t need to buy them anymore.

YAY…. I left her work that day with Nancy’s moms recipe in hand. Went home and made 3 dozen of these cookies. What’s funny is I only make these cookies during the holidays. I’m not sure why, but that’s just how it works out. Maybe I only think about molasses during the holiday. Just like I only think of pumpkin during Thanksgiving. It’s just one of those things.

These cookies are so soft and the taste screams holidays. It has the perfect amount of cinnamon, ginger, cloves and molasses. They’re so good that I ate 4 with my morning coffee. Oops. I had no idea I ate them all until I looked down and my bowl was empty.

If you have it in you to make one more batch of cookies this holiday season, then you need to whip these together. They come together pretty quickly and stay fresh for a week. You can have molasses crinkle cookies all week. Yay!!
