I used molasses from the grocery store in the baking aisle...it is fancy molasses, which tends to be sweeter and lighter, and it's different from cooking or blackstrap molasses. Everything in the recipe was done by weight, including the oil and molasses. The final dough was on the stickier side - i.e. I had to wash my hands a couple of times while rolling the dough. Lastly, I drop the rolled balls into granulated sugar, then put them on the baking pan and flatten. Hope this helps!

And my batter was super sticky and hard to work with, should i add more flour? Oh and one more thing when you add the sugar is it just to the top? thanks for the recipe and the help, i feel like im close to making them great but just need a little assistance! thanks ok so i tried these because im obsessed with the starbuck ones, however mine are very ’spicy’ and not very sweet, now this maybe a stupid question but is there a difference between cooking molasses and just molasses like the recipe calls for?

I was so happy to avoid that with a scale. Let me know how it works out for you!!

The first time I ever had a cookie like that was at Whole Foods. I LOVED them. They look very similar and from what I imagine, taste similar too? Would love to try the recipe! Thanks :) P.S. Yes, having a scale is AWESOME. Mmmm those look delicious!
