Copycat Starbucks Molasses Cookie
Soft, warm, lightly spiced, and deeply cozy — this homemade version captures the gentle ginger-molasses flavour and melt-in-your-mouth texture perfectly.
Ingredients (8 cookies)
1 ¼ cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp ginger
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp cloves
Pinch salt
⅓ cup butter, softened
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup molasses
1 egg
¼ cup white sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cream butter + brown sugar. Add egg + molasses.
