Grandma's Molasses Cookies

These molasses cookies are soft, chewy perfection—golden brown with that signature crackled top that sparkles with a dusting of coarse sugar. Each cookie has a gently domed shape, rich with the deep caramel color of molasses and warm spices. The textured surface catches the light, making every crack and sugar crystal stand out beautifully. Stacked casually on a simple stoneware plate, they have a homemade charm that feels comforting and nostalgic—like something baked on a chilly afternoon to fill the kitchen with the scent of ginger, cinnamon, and molasses.
