Molasses Cookies 

I buy my molasses from the sugar factory here in Barbados. I love it. One teaspoon in hot water taste like coffee and it is good for anemia ( in my personal experience).

I love the taste of molasses, even blackstrap, it’s an old school taste but if you can get past the bitterness it’s a really complex sweetener

Me: :( Preppy Kitchen: *new video* Me: :)

Molasses dribbled on a slice of warm-from-the-oven freshly baked whole wheat bread... Yum

In the middle east countries, we eat molasses with tahini, its delicious😋😋

Did you see Binging with Babish used your recipe for macarons on his episode today? Here's hoping you get all the clicks you deserve!

Just made these cookies for the second time and they are out of this world! My boyfriend was obsessed, he says they’re his favorite thing I’ve ever made 😍 thanks so much John for this amazing, really quite easy recipe

My grandma makes Molasses cookies. It makes me happy

Ok but can we talk about johns apron?! Adorable!! Love that you’re switching it up for the holidays 🥰

Canada here. I use Cosby's Molasses. They have many recipes for using molasses. My husband loves carrot sticks sauteed with molasses and butter. So many recipes to use molasses. Yummm Oh btw, love the recipe for soft gingersnaps.

I’m not a very big cookie fan, however I LOVE molasses cookies. I haven’t made them for awhile but this video made me add them to my baking list for this year.

I love molasses!!! I grew up on molasses cookies. It was the only kind of cookies my dad would let my mom make. I even put molasses on my cereal.

Molasses are good for you. My husband and I take a teaspoonful every morning. I will definitely give this a try. Thanks for sharing!

I just made these. Wow! Maybe the best cookie I've ever tried to make. I grew up in 'The South'...so there was always a jar of molasses on the table when buttermilk biscuits & melted butter were served. So I LOVE the taste of even a spoon full of just plain, ole molasses! I didn't have any ground ginger but I did have some beautiful candied ginger & I chopped about a half a cup & added to the mix. And I can NEVER have too many warm spices so I added allspice, nutmeg & cloves. I always loved lemon &/or orange sauce over warm gingerbread so I added some fresh (I have loads of citrus in the garden!) blood orange & Eureka lemon zest to the mix. WOW! THANK YOU for all the recipes. Anything I try from you turns out SO good. Cheers

I actually like molasses 😂 Especially on buttermilk biscuits.

I have taken 1tbs of blackstrap molasses every morning right from the spoon for the past 11yrs. Has helped my iron stores tremendously!

I like butter and molasses spread on thick slices of fresh-made bread. Yes!!!

I always have molasses in my cabinet..I do enjoy the taste of it with some homemade buttermilk biscuits...it may be a southern thing

I love molasses and really enjoy any recipe that uses it.

You're obviously not southern. LOL!!! We love a hot biscuit slathered with sweet butter and covered with molasses. Good ol' Blackstrap Molasses! And, yes, we think it's very "tasty". I've been making these cookies for over 30 years. They are our favorite Christmas cookie. In fact, we call them "The Christmas Cookie". I make the cookie dough, roll it into balls, coat it with sugar, and freeze on parchment paper lined cookie sheets. I store the frozen dough balls in Ziploc bags so we can bake a few at a time as we want them. I have six dozen dough balls in the freezer right now that I made three nights ago. They don't last long so I make a double batch each time. They are good anytime, but they are especially good at Christmas. As a matter of fact, I think I'll go take a few out of the freezer right now and bake them for us to have as an afternoon snack with a glass of milk. Try a good hot homemade biscuit with some butter and molasses. You can thank me later.

I grew up eating molasses on my cornbread in Tennessee, still one of my favorite treats to this day! Molasses is one of my favorite flavors!

Just watched Binging with Babish where he posted a video where he credited your macaroon recipe. So excited to get a double dose of your recipes today!

I used to have 2 spoonful of molasses in the morning daily when I was a kid and I love it, it’s great for people low on iron or anemic

Guage number is how many scoops in a quart...so a 24 will give 24 scoops from a quart of dough. A 70 will be a smaller scoop....yielding 70 scoops from a quart.

Whenever I try a new recipe I always will use yours if possible. I had molasses sitting in my pantry and felt inspired to use it today. These cookies truly taste like Christmas and I'm excited to make them again for my family during the holidays

"It smells like sin" LMAO.

Mix molasses with tahini. Yummm. Healthy alternative to Nutella.

We put molasses on warm homemade bread with butter and a cup of tea.....a wonderful Newfoundland lunch!

I'm so excited to be here when the post is FRESH! I finally got a stand mixed and I made your pastry cream recipe and your Italian meringue. I LOVE your recipes. 🥰

I grew up eating molasses on pancakes at my great grandma’s house. I love the taste. It brings back great memories.

These are the ABSOLUTE BEST COOKIES IN THE WHOLE RU-vid UNIVERSE 👏 my people are going to lose their 💩. Thank you 🙏🏻 💕 you are always my go to when baking. I will be buying your cookbook happy😊

Love molasses! I grew up in Nova Scotia where the molasses jug was always on the table. After a meal a fresh slice of homemade bread topped with Molasses was the Norm... Molasses cookies regardless of time of the year were a staple in the pantry. It is so healthy source of iron, selenium, copper and calcium all good for bone health . 1 Tbsp.Blackstrap molasses contains 20% of the iron you each day. Yes and as stated below good for anemia...( personal experience as well)

We made these and added chopped candied ginger. Soooo yummy!

Every time we try one of your recipes, they turn out so perfect! Keep ‘em coming!

My father-n-law’s favorite cookie ever. I’m making these for him this weekend. My wife is soooo happy. Thank you for the wonderful recipe!! 💕

I haven't ever got intreasted on cooking but I'm starting to like cooking now

your mood makes me feel so cosy and happy!

I am from the south and we made molasses, so I grew up eating them. My Mom would make fresh biscuits and we would poor the molasses over the hot biscuit with butter. Love it. Thanks good recipe.

John: have you ever had a sip of molasses and thought: mhm delicious. Entire Turkey: yaaa:)

I was raised on molasses ; my grandmother made her own and used it as a topping on oatmeal and biscuits.

When I was a toddler growing up in Texas my grandma would make buttermilk biscuits from scratch every morning and we’d drizzle molasses on them... YUMMMMM!

I'm loving the apron, super cute.

I literally just purchased molasses to make molasses cookies!

Molasses is delicious. I put it in my coffee. It is AMAZING!

John, i made you carrot cake cupcakes and cream cheese frosting for thanksgiving and they were amazing!! thank you so much for sharing all these delicious recipes

I love molasses. Molasses and butter on biscuits is amazing.

I LOVE BlackStrap Molasses!!! (I figured out why I love black licorice also because it’s base is made of blackstrap molasses! It’s weird but I hated molasses when I was young. Tastes change as we age. 💕

I just made these and they are phenomenal. They have height, nice crinkling, a nice softness and great flavours. Will recommend, 10/10

Thank you for these wonderful recipes! I made the pumpkin roll cake for Thanksgiving and it was a huge hit! 🥰🤩❤

I definitely agree that molasses by itself is blah. When I was younger, my mom swore by mixing molasses with warm milk to help me sleep.

My grandmother used to make molasses cookies when I was a kid before she died. To this day, they are still the best cookies I have ever had... and I haven't had them in like 30 years. She unfortunately took her recipes to the grave with her.

I LOVE molasses! I typically only use it when I make baked beans or molasses cookies, but whenever I have it out, I can't resist a small spoonful of straight molasses. I will most definitely try this recipe. Thank you, John.

These molasses cookies and ginger cookies make fabulous ice cream sandwiches!

Mmmmm...these are my most favorite cookies ever! I make them all season!

Hi John, the other day I made brown sugar! It was incredible! I twirled around, showed off the silky texture to anyone near me...it was all because of you! I’m still amazed.

LOVE molasses cookies!

Molasses Cookies have always been a favorite of mine...even my picky husband loves them. I may have to give your recipe a try this year. 😊

My mother is from Boston and molasses is a way of life up there! I love Molasses everything from Pie to Mary Jane Candies

I eat blackstrap molasses out of the jar. LOVE IT !

I made these this weekend. Boy, are they delicious. People at work seem to really like them too. Preppy Kitchen is definitely my first stop for baked goods recipes.

In the Appalachian mountains of Kentucky, where I come from, we had very many meals with molasses and a little butter with cornbread. This was my grandparents' go-to "dessert."

I see PreppyKitchen I click 😍❤ hands down favourite cooking/baking channel. John is like joy personified in his videos, honestly makes me want to bake everything that he makes 🧡

I absolutely love the taste of molasses. I can eat it with a spoon. When I was a kid, and still do occasionally, I mixed softened butter with it, and put it on warm biscuits. There’s nothing like it. I like it as well as I like honey.

One of my favorite cookies! And they definitely have to be soft!!

omg these are literally my favorite cookies!!! THANK YOU

um...this recipe is beyond amazing!

And cookies yesss! Nothing better than cookies❤my grampas favorite were molasses cookies💙

Amazing recipe thanks for sharing. This is the true flavor of the holidays.

I love molasses, my great Pappa and Granny lived through the depression so they used molasses in everything bc it was much cheaper than sugar back them, delicious 😋

I love cookies thanks John doing good as always

Love that apron! These cookies look so gooood, I'd even add some pumpkin puree to make them extra special!

I could watch your vidoes all day. You have such a good aura ✨️

I constantly come to your channel for cooking and baking. You’ve become my go-to. Everything always looks and I imagine taste like you did it. I’m excited about this recipe. 🥰 Update.... these are amazing.... you’re making me fat ...lol 😍

Molasses cookies are so good!! So glad your beginning to make Christmas desserts John! 😋😋

These are my fav cookies. Always have been. When i was a child my mother made us kids take a tablespoon of mollasis every morning so we would get the minerals we needed.

I tasted the dough rn and it tastes amazing , like caramel toffee im going to chill them for a bit If the dough is amazing, the cookie will be too !!!

Molasses is a byproduct of the sugar-making process, and it comes from crushed sugar cane or sugar beets. First, manufacturers crush sugar cane or sugar beets to extract the juice. They then boil down the juice to form sugar crystals.

I really recommend this Recipe.

Tyvm John for sharing these molasses cookies perfect for Christmas dessert ❤❤

One of my fav breakfasts was a slice of bread slathered with molasses and put in the oven for a bit. When they come out, you put butter on it and then eat. My molasses cookies are different and people love them.

As a native Missourian, I will tell you there is nothing better than either crackers or biscuits with sorghum molasses.

Omgg, a great dessert for holidays, i'm gonna make it for sell💗💗💗 Greetings from México🇲🇽

Lovin that new apron! Thanks so much John, once again YOU ARE AMAZING 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

As a child, I ate molasses sandwiches. Molasses on white bread was a treat!

When my grandmother made homemade bread, we would always have a slice with butter, dipped in molasses!! Yummy 😋 My dad put molasses on his pancakes too!

Hi there John & family! Happy holidays!🎉 Molasses comes from sugar cane. Once it's processed, it turns into sugar. In fact, brown sugar is granular sugar w/ molasses added to it. I'm Panamanian, and down here folks add it to coffee, lemonade (instead of regular sugar). One interesting fact, if one has an opened wound, one smears molasses several times a day & after a few days, voilà, the wound will be cured. The secret? Iron. Molasses is full of iron!

I used the same recipe with gluten free and it turned out awesome! Thanks so much, I really enjoy your channel

Amazing recipe 😍 Greetings from Scotland ♥️

I love that apron!

hi this is the wife, l love having a tablespoon of molasses a couple times a week, more calcium in 2 tbs than a glass of milk.,l grew up on molasses cookies my auntie would make them all of the time and when we would get there we headed right to the cookie tin, and we also had them with some butter on the botton of them. they were never rolled in sugar. but they were to die for.

Made these tonight and they are AMAZING. Definitely trying more of your recipes! Thank you!

That apron? ADORABLE. ❤

Molasses on warm buttered fresh baked bread, delicious!

The one recipe I come back to time and time again! Absolutely one of my all time favourites :)

These are A-MAZING! Great texture, super rich molasses flavor. The sugar on top is a nice finishing touch. Thank you for this new favorite

I make molasses cookies all year round. They are a huge favorite in my house!

Molasses is very big in Nova Scotia Canada. My cousin eats it with homemade biscuits. Your recipe looks yummy.

"It says #24, but I have no idea what that means."😂 Never tasted straight up molasses. Of course now, I'm thinking about it😅. The cookies look good & fairly simple to make. Can't wait to try them.

Molasses is good for you and I like drizzling it on oatmeal. I love molasses cookies and I will have to give yours a try. I have not been disappointed in any of your recipes. Thank you!

Love the taste of molasses
