Chewy, sugar-coated cookies that are spice filled is what makes these molasses cookies. These are the most satisfying sweet treat.

I have been craving a good molasses cookie for a couple weeks now and I knew I wanted them to be chewy, big in size, and lots of spice to them. These are just that!

They are easy to make but make sure you don’t skip the chilling step of this recipe. I cannot guarantee they will turn out if you skip that part. That’s what helps give them that nice chewy texture. And be sure to not over bake them or they will be crunchy all the way through. They are still yummy crunchy, but better when chewy.

Some other cookie recipes of mine you should try are the Oatmeal M&M Cookies, Carrot Cookies, Candy Cane Cookies, No Bake Cookies, and the Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies.
