These cookies are amazing. They come out super soft and chewy, with just the right amount of molasses flavor. Definitely my go-to recipe!

Print Options
Description
These are my grandmother’s recipe and they are amazing! Very cake-like cookies.
Ingredients
- ½ cups Butter
- ½ cups Sugar
- ½ cups Molasses
- 1 whole Egg
- 2-¼ cups Sifted Flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoons Salt
- ½ cups Water
Preparation
Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and molasses, mix well. Sift together dry ingredients and add to molasses mixture with water. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet. (Leave plenty of room, they spread!) Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes. If a toothpick comes out of the center clean, they are done.

I had my doubts as the dough resembled cake batter instead of cookie dough, but they turned out just perfect.
