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 :)

YUM! I used blackstrap molasses and butter instead of shortening, and cranberries + currants instead of raisins. Next time I think I will use a touch less sugar, but maybe they will mellow out overnight.

Best I've made in a long time. One thing, however- 12 minutes was a bit too long, so I kept them in for 7, which was perfect! Thanks!

I must have done something wrong, although I thought I followed the recipe exactly. Who knows, I could have missed something, I was talking on the phone while baking. My dough was runny, and when I tried to make cookies, they spread out and I couldn't get them off the pan. I decided to bake them in a pan, as someone else suggested. The turned out fabulous. This is why I am giving them a 5. By the way, I frosted them with the all spice cream cheese frosting. Heavenly is all I can say! Thanks for sharing.

Great flavor! My father in law just loved them, and he is a molassas cookie connoisseur! Don't make them too large, however. I used a med scoop on the first batch and they spread out to the size of a saucer!

These are so freaking awesome!!! They are sooo easy to make and really taste good with 'Allspice Cream Cheese Frosting' on them. I made a batch and took to work, everyone loved them!! They are a new must-have for my cookie jar!!

These cookies have a great flavor and the dough was easy to work with if chilled. I found the texture less crispy and more chewy the following day, which is how I think molasses cookies should be.

I love to both bake and eat cookies! I was looking for a new molasses recipe and tried this one. I have to say it was NOT good. The batter was hard to work with. I tried to refrigerate it, and it still was a sticky mess. The cookies were very hard to get off the sheets, and even stuck together after cooling. I always follow a new recipe to a "t" the first time I make it, and adjust to our tastes from there. But this one doesn't need adjusting - it needs passed on! The FLAVOR was very good, if you don't mind them looking like brown blobs. Very disappointing. I also thought the raisins added NOTHING to this recipe - a good molasses cookie can stand on its own. My advice? Keep on looking, because this isn't "the one" you hope to find. Sorry Grammy - nothing personal!

If I could, I would rate these cookies a 4 and a 1/2... they are almost perfect. To some people, they would be perfect, but they were a bit sweet for me. As for everything else, the texture was great, perfect chewiness and crispiness, etc. I would maybe cut back as well on the amount of raisins because they were at times almost overwhelming. Other than that, the cookies were a great success!

These cookies were very good; I simply cut the allspice and the ginger back to .5 teaspoons. I just have a hard time getting the baking time exactly right. It seems that they always come out either half done or over done. Overall, they have a very good taste though!

I filled an inexpensive cookie jar with these cookies and gave it to a friend for his birthday. He said these were the best he had ever had, and he claims to be a connoisseur on molasses cookies. Very good recipe.

I loved these cookies. Molasses cookies are my dads favorite so I made them for him. Usually I do not like molasses cookies but these were really good. Or I could just be a great cook, ha ha I don't know. Ok bye, God Bless, Kristaballet4God
