Tuesdays With Dorie: Sugar-Topped Molasses Cookies
Hello, November!
If you follow any other TWDers*, you might notice that we’re not all posting the same recipe today. Our November recipes are Chocolate Caramel Chestnut Cake, Cran-Apple Crisps, Sugar-Topped Molasses Cookies and All-in-One Holiday Bundt Cake. Since it’s a holiday month, we have the liberty of choosing which recipe we want to post each week. I went with the cookies first, chosen by Pamela of Cookies with Boys.
The primary flavors in this recipe are molasses, brown sugar and spices like ginger and cinnamon, making this a great fall and winter cookie. I am usually a chewy cookie person, so I made sure to take the cookies out at 12-13 minutes so they didn’t harden up on me. The cookies turned out just the way I like them.. so chewy and satisfying.
The recipe makes 24 large round cookies, but I saved half the dough for later, since it’s always good to have a stash of cookie dough ready-made during the holidays. These cookies won’t be the flashiest on your holiday tray, but they definitely deliver.
I’m looking forward to getting to all of the TWD recipes this month. I’m thinking Cran-Apple Crisps for next week, but who knows? I might mix it up!

i love that last picture… all stacked up.
You are so right.
These are plain and simple, but fabulous in the flavor department.
I hope we can make that recipe for some of our holiday cookies when you come home at Christmas, they look great and have always been one of my favorites
Oh, these sound great! I was going to skip them, but I love your idea for saving half the dough. I really should be doing that NOW.
These look great! I tend to think that molasses cookies are not appreciated as much as they should be. They are so deep in flavor and chewy in texture….yum!
I love molasses cookies and can’t wait to make these next week. I made the Chestnut cake this week. Delicious!
I loved these, the look so darn boring and but were so good!
Ooh – those cookies look delicious… and PERFECT! I love the picture of them all stacked up.
These are sooo perfect in shape! Wow!
Simple is better. These were very good. Like your stack.
Great pictures of your cookies. Thanks for baking with me.
Thanks for sharing this info because is very good and i like to post like this.
