I made these over the weekend during a particularly strong rush of domesticity. They are just as you described: chewy, soft and crispy cracked on top. My in-laws thank you 🙂 I'm making another batch today and am using half golden syrup, half treacle because it's hard to find light molasses where I live (good old Dublin) and as you predicted, they were a bit too Christmasy for June when I used molasses in the last batch. You're the best! Thanks for sharing your kitchen genius with us!

They are most certainly my favorite and a definite must-bake during the holidays (and always a favorite at cookies swaps). I highly recommend letting the dough sit overnight or even 2-3 before baking off the cookies.

I don't know much about substituting honey for molasses, but I don't imagine it would change the texture, no. That's my best guess! It would certainly change the flavor, though, so that's something to keep in mind.

I knew just what I wanted to make and rejected countless recipes before stumbling upon yours–there it was! Exactly what I was envisioning. I'm the 5th of 6 kids so know all about delayed gratification–glad it led me to persist in finding this recipe. Thanks!

I substituted two tablespoons of cocoa for some of the flour in memory of a fabulous Martha Stewart ginger and chocolate chip cookie recipe I had made many years ago. I think the cocoa added a slight depth of flavour that is not really noticeable yet makes a difference. This cookie has the perfect balance of flavours and texture. Thanks for the recipe…and the story of its many predecessors.

Maybe the best cookies I’ve every had. Chocolate and molasses together is pure genius. -sara
