These soft molasses sugar cookies are an old-fashioned treat you'll love! Warmly spiced and rolled in sparkly sugar, these make an unforgettable tradition!

Old fashioned super soft molasses cookies are a homemade classic treat packed with bold flavors of molasses, ginger, and cinnamon in each bite. They&#039;re seriously soft and chewy on the inside with a crackly top outside that&#039;s been rolled in sugar. They&#039;re a fall and holiday favorite recipe that&#039;s the perfect addition to any cookie swap!

Super Soft Molasses Cookies

All-Purpose Flour

tsp Ground Cloves

tsp Ground Ginger

tsp Baking Soda

tsp Ground Cinnamon

Salt

Vegetable Oil

Full Flavor Molasses (I used the Brer Rabbit brand)

Large Egg (room temperature)

Whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cloves, ground ginger, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set to the side.

Using your hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the vegetable oil and granulated sugar together on medium-high speed until well blended. Add in the full flavored molasses and egg.

Switching the mixer speed to low, gradually add in the whisked dry ingredients until just combined.

Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the molasses cookie dough for a minimum of 2 hours (or until it&#039;s easy to shape).

Once the cookie dough has chilled, adjust the oven rack to the 2nd level position (just above center) and preheat the oven to 375ºF. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.

Using a spoon or a 1 tablespoon size cookie scoop, form 1 inch size cookie dough balls. Roll each one in a small bowl of granulated sugar and place on the lined baking sheet roughly 2 inches apart.

Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes at 375ºF. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely. The cookies will be puffy at first, but will flatten as they cool.
