Even if you don’t think you like molasses cookies, you should absolutely give these a try! I didn’t think I liked them either, until I made them myself and realized they didn’t have to be cakey and dry, as they can sometimes be! PLUS add in a little pumpkin, and some pumpkin pie spice, and it’s really a match made in heaven! I have fully embraced fall baking this year, trying to perfect all the classics, like Apple Pie, Pumpkin Roll, Apple Crisp, and Pecan Pie! So when I had the idea for these cookies, I knew they were a little less “traditional”, but I thought you would love them! Mixing up favorite seasonal flavors is fun and easy to do, because they all seem to pair so well together! AND cookies are an easy option if you’re not looking for a complicated or time consuming recipe.
Tips To Make The BEST Pumpkin Molasses Cookies!
Here are a few things you should remember when you’re making these pumpkin cookies:
Watch your bake time! Pumpkin Cookies can get dry and cakey quick if they are over-baked. The ratio of butter/sugar/pumpkin/molasses in this recipe will set you up for success, but if you over-bake them they won’t be as great. You want the tops of the cookies to be just set, and the edges to be very lightly golden. 9 minutes is perfect in my oven, but since all home ovens tend to vary, I’d keep an eye on them, as you might need to add or take away a minute. If you’re not sure, under-baking slightly is better than over-baking!Pumpkin Matters! Make sure you’re using 100% pure pumpkin (like Libby’s) not pumpkin pie mix!Molasses Can’t Be Subbed. If you don’t have a jar of molasses and want to cheat and use honey or dark corn syrup your results won’t be the same. I’m not saying those ingredients wouldn’t WORK, but you won’t get a molasses cookie without molasses!
