Recipe Comments and Reviews Sort by: Reviews General Comments View All » Rating I made these just the other day and they almost brought tears to my eyes . These cookies are just like my Grandmother"s . I will make them often. Thank you so much,Kathy H. Posted April 14, 2016 by Kathlyn Rating These turned out just perfect and I followed the recipe to a T. Thank you! My family loved them... nice and rich but still sweet. Posted August 11, 2014 by Melissa @ Bless this Mess Rating This was good. I cut back on the spices and omitted the cloves completely. I also put in 1 cup of molasses to give it a really strong molasses taste. The cookies came out great!!! Posted April 16, 2013 by Susy Rating i just made this recipe and would rate it *****. very light, nice texture. However, like so many people - I am trying to duplicate the recipe for molasses cookies that my grand mother made on the farm when I was little. Her cookies were almost 'tough' -- you could take the edge of the cookie and bend it, and it would not break off -- more like a ginger snap but not as dry. What I remember the most was that you would take a bite of the cookie and hold it in your mouth and actually suck the molasses out, sort of strain it thru the cookie. any suggestions?? Posted March 02, 2012 by neal Rating This made a very nice treat for my friends at work. Some have never had a molasses cookie and they loved it! Would make it again in a heartbeat.
