Great cookies and so easy to make! I love the molasses flavor in them, perfect amount for me. The other spices blended in well too. I made my cookies a little smaller and got 8 dozen. I will be making these for a long time!

These come out exactly the way a molasses cookie should! 2 things: Definitely watch cooking time...if you like a chewy cookie, stick to the approx. 10min bake time-they may look too undercooked but that is fine. If you like a crispy cookie, let them go 2 mins longer. They definitely go from being chewy to being crispy QUICK so watch the time!! Also, just an FYI, I started out using coarse sugar sprinkles by Wilson (the decorator kind)but changed to the standard fine red sugar that you find in the grocery store. The coarse sugar looked pretty but was too crunchy for this cookie.

These were great. I did use brown sugar and butter-flavored shortening. I had to use 5T of butter since I ran out of shortening. I forgot to roll them in sugar, though. They look great and taste great.

Yummy cookies! The flavor is great - perfect spicy little cookie. They stay chewy as long as you don't cook them too long - 8 minutes was perfect for me. I rolled them in colored sugar (green and red) and they made pretty Christmas cookies. I too added 2 T. of corn syrup like a previous reviewer suggested.

These Molasses Cookies were very good and easy to make. A little crunchy on the outside and nice and chewy on the inside. I rolled in green and red colored sugar for Christmas, and will add this to my Christmas Cookie Recipe Collection. My children liked these cookies - I didn't think they would like molasses but they both said "yummy." I am making ahead and freezing for the holiday.

Absolutely love these cookies- they are very soft and chewy and last for a long time- you can freeze them and they are super good to microwave for a few seconds to warm them up! Make sure you remember to refridgerate the dough, I forgot about that step and these were the last cookies I had planned to make in a day and they should have been the first ones I mixed.

These turned out great. I liked putting them in just a litte shorter to get them nice and chewy. The only mistake I made was in making half a batch the first time, now I'm making another full batch!!!

These cookies have a wonderful taste but they are way to sweet. I won't be trying this one again.

Wonderful taste. Did take me a while to get the hang of baking them to perfection - not too soft/underdone but not too crunch/overdone. I finally got it right - baked them at 200C for 12 minutes. Rolled them in the coloured sugar recipe from this site. Well worth all the trial and error. Will be making another batch of these soon.

These cookies are absolutely phenomenal! I'm not usually a huge fan of sugar cookies in general, but the spice and kick they have are so amazing. By far one of the best recipes I've come across. Thank you so much!

This recipe is outstanding. I made about 10 dozen this year, because everyone kept asking for more! The best part: making 10 dozen was so easy! I rolled in red and green sugar for the holidays.

Delicious! I made these for Christmas and they were a real hit with my family. I live in Australia and couldn't buy all of the ingredients, so I substituted butter for shortening and treacle for molasses. This recipe is a keeper. =D
