Homemade Molasses Crinkles

Must Try Recipes

Molasses is a great sweetener that isn’t overly sweet and adds a nice richness to your desserts. In these molasses crinkles, it’s the molasses that makes the cookies so chewy and nice. I simply love how all the flavors melt in my mouth! They taste perfectly with a glass of warm milk when you want to unwind after a long day. And I look forward to eating them together with eggnog when the holidays come around!

I used to make molasses crinkles long before I switched to real food. Now I use sprouted flour and whole cane sugar to make these delicious treats not only tasty but also full of minerals and beneficial nutrients.

The cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and vanilla give them a nice rich flavor that is perfect for cold fall and winter days. And they will also make your kitchen smell simply amazing!
