Soft Molasses Cookies Recipe

Soft Molasses Cookies

Soft Molasses Cookies are a classic type of cookie known for their rich, chewy texture and the warm, comforting flavors of molasses and spices. They are especially popular during the fall and holiday seasons.

Molasses is the star ingredient in these cookies. It provides a deep, sweet, and slightly tangy flavor. Molasses is a thick, dark syrup made during the sugar-making process. First, the sugar cane is crushed and the juice is extracted. The juice is then boiled to form sugar crystals and removed from the liquid. The thick, brown syrup left after removing the sugar from the juice is molasses.

I love these Soft Molasses Cookies not only for their delicious flavor but also for their soft and chewy texture, making them a satisfying comfort food.

Molasses cookies have a long and storied history, with origins dating back to colonial America. These cookies were initially a simple and economical treat, making use of the readily available molasses, which was a common sweetener at the time. Molasses cookies are believed to have originated in colonial America during the 17th century. Early American colonists used molasses as a primary sweetener in their recipes, as refined sugar was expensive and scarce.

The combination of molasses and tahini in these cookies creates a unique and delightful flavors that’s both familiar and surprising. The tahini adds a nutty richness and creaminess to the cookies, while the molasses provides sweetness and depth.

What is tahini?

Tahini is a thick paste made from ground sesame seeds. It is a staple ingredient in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines and is widely used in dishes like hummus, baba ganoush, falafel, and various sauces and dressings. Tahini has a rich, nutty flavor and very creamy texture.
