    Wonderful CookiesMarch 03, 2012 By Jen0810
    By far the best Molasses Cookies I have ever made. They compare to my great grandmothers molasses cookies from what my dad says.

    These some tasty cookies.January 24, 2012 By Tyrone_Patron
    These cookies are tasty good. They are soft and I love the texture of the cookie. I didn't use a electric mixer because, I have my own baking style. They still came out just right.

    Super Yummy CookiesJune 05, 2009 By eabdance
    I have tried many molasses cookie recipes & this one wins hands down. The cookies turn out soft & perfectly chewy, not flat & fragile. This recipe is great & easy to follow. I baked my cookies for 10 minutes but every oven varies. I can't wait to make these again.

    Very soft, lots of flavorMay 21, 2009 By Norbert250
    I've made these cookies several times and always get good reviews. I add a smidgen more on the spices and cook them a minute or so less because I like a little more flavor and soft cookies. I really enjoy these cookies. Very Yummy!

    Highly addictive!June 09, 2008 By kfreid
    In hopes of replicating the Molasses Cookies from Starbucks I stumbled across this recipe and these are WAY better! Super tasty and highly addicitve (that's the only bad part). By the way, I used margarine instead of shortening.

    Really good recipe!March 07, 2008 By MrsMelde
    These cookies turned out GREAT! I had to chill mine overnight, but they still turned out fine. I left out the nutmeg (my family doens't like the taste of it) and didn't change anything else. I made my dough balls a little larger than what it says to, and it yielded exactly 2 dozen cookies. This is a really good recipe and I will be using it again!

    RAVE REVIEWSJanuary 24, 2008 By doughmom
    These soft molasses cookies are the best I've ever tasted. I gave many away (which was difficult because I wanted to eat all of them) and received excellent reviews. I did change the recipe slightly by adding 1 tsp allspice and increasing the nutmeg to 1 tsp. I will definitely make them again and others will too, since I received many requests for the recipe.
