molasses cookie

Dark, chewy treat

A molasses cookie is a soft, chewy cookie made with molasses, which gives it a deep brown color and rich, bittersweet flavor.

The cookies are typically spiced with ginger, cinnamon, and cloves, making them popular during fall and winter holidays: Grandma's molasses cookies were always the first to disappear from the cookie tray.
