FYI-I made the mckmama’s too and didn’t like them. They hardened really quickly…and there was something else that was just ‘off’ about them. I just can’t remember since it’s been a year.
I’ll try making these next week. I love molasses cookies and try every recipe I can find!

Ok! I just had to share! I baked these and brought them to our Christmas tea last night. These were delicious!! I had some left over so I put them in a baggie in the freezer. My husband and kids all loved them too.
thank you Roni!

Hi, Roni
I saw these and they look delicious! I have one question..it says 2 cookies for 1 point, but then in the little box it says 2 points?
thank you!

I made these last night! So yummy, but I think mine turned out bigger than the ones in the picture (oops). My boyfriend ate three straight out of the oven. It’s morning here in Australia and I intend on having one with a cup of coffee.
Roni- thanks for putting together such great websites. I have been a lurker for a while now, but just wanted to say “great job”!

Made these today with 1/2 reg. flour and 1/2 whole wheat. The dough didn’t get stiff enough to form balls so i spooned them onto the sheet, sprinkled w/sugar and baked. I got 43 cookies and they are delish!! Thx for this and all your other fab recipes!!!

I think some frosting would be good on these… just kidding!

This recipe looks great. I’m starting to look for “lite” cookie recipes to make for holiday presents.

I can not wait to try this recipe. I have a chocolate recipe that the cookies turn out about the same.

I made them last night with all whole wheat flour and they turned out GREAT, very soft. And 4-year-old approved… I even put one in his lunch today and two in mine. ;)

They are still soft! I just have them in that tin so I’m surprised. They even seem more cake like now. It’s weird. I had 3 with breakfast. :)

Did these stay soft? I love soft molasses cookies. When I make the recipe I have, I store them in a container with a slice of bread to keep them soft. Some people put an apple in the container instead of bread, and I hear that works, too. I think my boys might like making these with me…I’ll let you know when we try it.

Oops, just noticed that someone else asked a similar question… that’ll teach me to read the comments *after* I comment! ;) And again, thanks for all your work, love love love your recipes. I’ll be first in line for your cookbook when it comes out. :)

I really want to make these tonight, they look soooo good. But I only have whole wheat flour and white flour… do you think I could use a combo of those?

Yum! I love molasses. These look like gingerbread cookies but better.

I made some similar cookies that I saw on mckmamas website completely on a whim. My husband liked them. I had to use flax seed and water instead of an egg because I was out. They were moist and fabulous. I’ll try these next week.
This recipe isn’t too sweet and uses maple syrup and molassas as sugars. I didn’t have the sucanant so I used regular sugar. I also flattened them out after basically putting them in balls like yours. These don’t spread at all.
