A Taste of Nostalgia: Old-Time Molasses Cookies

There’s something special about the deep, rich flavor of molasses in a soft, spiced cookie. These Old-Time Molasses Cookies are a beloved classic, bringing warmth and comfort with every bite. Whether you're baking for a cozy evening at home, a family gathering, or just craving a nostalgic treat, this recipe is sure to become a favorite.




Why You'll Love This Recipe

✔ Soft & Chewy Texture – Perfectly balanced between firm and tender.
✔ Warm Spices – Infused with cinnamon, ginger, and cloves for that cozy flavor.
✔ Simple Ingredients – Made with pantry staples, just like grandma used to make.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • ½ tsp ground cloves
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup raw sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prepare – Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients – In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and molasses.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients – In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
  4. Mix & Chill – Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until combined. Chill dough for 30 minutes.
  5. Shape & Coat – Roll dough into 1-inch balls, then roll in granulated sugar. Place on baking sheet, 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake – Bake for 8-10 minutes until cookies are set but still soft. Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Serving & Storing

Enjoy these cookies warm with a cup of tea or milk! Store in an airtight container for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.

A Sweet Tradition

Molasses cookies have been a cherished recipe in many homes, passed down through generations. Growing up, these were the one cookie I couldn’t resist sneaking—their rich, spiced aroma was simply too tempting! This recipe is also similar to one from Howard, NY, shared by Lilah Burdin, a dear friend of our family. Her version was a local favorite, bringing warmth to every gathering.

Do you have a special memory of baking molasses cookies? I’d love to hear your stories in the comments!
