Raspberry Molasses Cookies

So what’s your favorite kind of cookie?  Loaded question, right?  I was recently in a *very serious* cookie debate, and I got thinking that my favorite cookies are those special ones I hardly ever eat.  Like cut-out sugar cookies (which I NEVER have time for), or a good molasses cookie.  It’s been YEARS since I made my Gram’s molasses cookie recipe – so I decided it was high time!

Raspberry Molasses Cookies at www.happyhourprojects.com

This recipe has been in my family for generations, and it’s old-school delicious: soft and chewy, but not too sweet.  It brought back fond memories when the smells filled my new kitchen.  I hope you enjoy!

    These sound delicious! I was in a cookie craving mood this weekend myself and made sugar cookies, but I think I’ll have to try these, too. Thanks for the recipe!

    I have never made cookies before… This recipe seems easy enough to do it finally :)…
    I hope this is not a dumb question… can i replace the molasses with something else(honey ???) I dont think this is available in this part of the world :)

      Hmmm… I’m not sure! The consistency would be right, and the sweetness level is similar between honey and molasses, but molasses has such a distinct flavor I have no idea what sort of cookie that would end up being. I am really curious if any other international friends have a suggestion for a good molasses substitute.

Hello, and welcome! I'm Adrianne, an artist, author, designer, and blogger in mid Michigan. I work from home, chase my two kids, and this once-city-girl is learning how to care for chickens and adjusting to life out in the country. I have a compulsion for daily creativity... sometimes it's jewelry-making, paper crafting, metal stamping, mixing and baking, or giving new life to recycled items. But with 2 young kids, time is short! My goal here at Happy Hour Projects is to share projects and tips that you can do in an hour or less. The ideas you find here are designed to add a little creativity in your day, no matter how much (or how little) time you have!
