The easiest and best tasting molasses cookie I ever made! Fabulous, fabulous cookies and beautiful too. I made it as written. Thanks so much for a very special old fashioned recipe. :)

WOW! These cookies were absolutely WONDERFUL. The only reason I gave them five stars is because there was no six. I was extremely wary of making them b/c every other recipe I've tried on allrecipes has turned into a burnt offering. These didn't burn, didn't stick, didn't spread and tasted SO GOOD. I did modify the recipe slightly b/c I didn't have all the ingredients: cloves instead of allspice, oil instead of butter or margerine, and four eggs instead of six. They still turned out GREAT. My DP (Dear Pappy), who doesn't like molasses cookies, loved them. Thanks, Grammy!

These were fantastic! I was looking for a recipe for a bakeoff and this is one! I modified it a little the second time and they were even better! I decreased the sugar to 3/4cup, decreased baking soda to 1/2 tsp and instead of raisins, used dried cranberry and chopped walnuts. i got 48 good sized, insanely delicious cookies.

Great cookie. Used butter instead of shortening and 1 egg / 2 egg whites.

Tasty enough, but had a big problem of the dough spreading all over the cookiesheet, even after chilling the dough. I followed the recipe as is. Probably not one I will make again.

This recipe produces a nice, soft cookie with a pleasant, light molasses taste, but I didn't love it. However, it was a big hit at a holiday party I attended.

I was quite impressed with these cookies especially after the alterations i made. I tried to make them healthier and had excellent results to my suprise. I used half light margarine and half applesauce instead of the shortening. I used 2 extra large eggs and 1 egg white, 1 3/4 cup of white flour and 1 cup of whole wheat. The dough was sticky so i didnt roll it into balls i just dropped from the spoon. They came out chewy and soft and puffed up nicely in the oven! They do get fairly large in the oven so make your blobs of dough smaller than you think you should. i will make again! good low fat cookie for a craving :)
