Molasses Cookies are a classic treat rooted in American and European baking traditions, known for their rich flavor and soft texture. Made with ingredients like flour, molasses, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, butter, and sugar, these cookies offer a delightful blend of sweetness and spice. Molasses, a byproduct of sugar production, lends the cookies their signature deep flavor and chewy consistency while also providing trace amounts of minerals such as iron, calcium, and magnesium. While the spices included in the recipe, like ginger and cinnamon, possess antioxidant properties, these benefits are balanced by the cookie’s sugar and butter content, making moderation key to enjoying them healthfully. A comforting favorite for holiday seasons and beyond, Molasses Cookies pair perfectly with tea or warm milk, embodying the cozy nostalgia of traditional home baking.
