Chewy Molasses Cookies – Perfectly spiced, tender and chewy molasses cookie that are perfect for any holiday baking tray!
Welcome to Day One of Christmas Week. This event is hosted by Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic and Susan of The Girl in the Little Red Kitchen. We hope to inspire you to break out those holiday sprinkles and get your bake on!

Today is the 3rd year I have participated in Christmas Week. I am so happy that all of us are getting together again to bring you a full week of yummy treats and a great giveaway. Some highlights I have shared in years past are Pumpkin Dream Cake, Frosted Sugar Cookies, Homemade Caramels, and one of my favorites; Pomegranate Margaritas! Trust me, there are some other amazing recipes coming up this week, so please check back!
I am so excited about these cookies. I sent them to 3 other bloggers as part of the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap, and they received rave reviews! I kept a few at home, and they were so chewy and good. They are full of some great fall spices, and the flavor comes through so well. I am normally a full on chocolate girl, if you have visited here at all, you know that about me. But sometimes you just have to switch it up, and these chewy molasses cookies are the way to do it! If you are looking for another cookie to add to your holiday baking list, these need to be it! The recipe only makes about 20 cookies, but you can double it very easily. I went that route, and I suggest you do as well
