Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups of brown sugar
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup molasses
2 eggs
12 tbsp unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks)

The molasses creates a rich, dark base while the cocoa gives it its deep chocolate flavor.

Be aware not to overcook the cookies – they’re best when the center is still soft!

How To Make Chocolate Molasses Cookies

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees C (356F). In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set it aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar together until it’s creamy. This is what gives the cookies their soft and chewy texture.
Add in the eggs one at a time, beating as you go. Pour in the molasses and vanilla extract, and beat until the mixture is even and smooth.
Gradually add in the dry ingredients while stirring continuously. This mix forms the cookie dough.
Use a cookie scoop to put the dough on your prepped baking tray. The cookies should be about two inches apart.
Bake for about 10 minutes. They’re done when the edges are set, but the centers are still soft. Cool before serving.
