Here is the recipe:
3/4 cup butter softened
1/2 cup white sugar plus more for rolling cookies in before baking
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground ginger
Cream butter and sugar in a mixing bowl. Beat in molasses and egg.
Combine dry ingredients; add gradually to creamed mixture.
Chill for 1 hour or until firm.
Shape into 1 inch balls. Roll the balls in sugar.
Place balls on cookie sheet and keep in ball form for best results. (They spread a lot so I only put six on a cookie sheet at a time.)
Bake at 375 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.
Cool on wire rack.
Enjoy! I don't have a picture of anyone enjoying these cookies because they disappeared too fast!

I just might have to buy molasses for the first time to try these they look yummy and i bet your house smelled super yummy! :)
I've never had these--storebought or homemade--we may have to try making them the next couple weeks.
Thank you for sharing this recipe.
I've been meaning to tell you--I really love Straight No Chaser. I'd never heard them until you mentioned them, the music is great!
mmmmmm, molasses cookies have always been my favorite.
I'm hoping to make some molasses cookies today. They are SO good and chewy!
definitely one of our favorites, too! i also like gingerbread--it's all about the molasses!
I also used to only buy the store bought ones and thought they were not that great. But last year my friend made homemade ones and they were sooo good!
Mmm, they look great! I just bought molasses to make gingerbread, so I'll have to give these a try.
They must have been really tasty! Sounds delicious! I'm going to have Mark make some. I'm not much of a baker, but he's practically a pro. Yummm!!
Yum! I love Molasses cookies, and my favorite are from Dancing Deer bakery in Mass.
