Spicy heart-warming cookies that are so soft and chewy, perfect for a Christmas treat!
I have only this year discovered that molasses cookies even existed I've clearly had my head in a hole! But I think that's because molasses cookies are more popular and traditional in America. We don't use molasses here in the UK unless you buy it from a special shop so an easy substitute that works quite similarly is black treacle. So I suppose you could say that these are gingerbread treacle cookies - but I like molasses cookies better :) Anyway, these cookies are honestly one of the best batches I have ever made. They are everything I usually look for in a cookie - soft, succulent but also a little chewy and I ate a lot of these with zero regrets. The mini Gingerbread men are optional but the spice gives these cookies just a little extra kick. I suggest dunking these in tea, as something about the extra moisture makes them even more desirable. These cookies are perfect to eat around Christmas time so make a batch and share with your loved ones.
Recipe
Ingredients
✿In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg and mix together.
✿In a larger bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, black treacle and vanilla until combined.
✿Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until you have a thick dough. Wrap tightly in clingfilm and refrigerate for 45 minutes to 1 hour until firm.
✿Pour the caster sugar into a bowl for rolling.
✿Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the cookie dough and roll into a ball then repeat with the remaining dough.

✿Once cool store in an airtight container at room temperature. Best eaten fresh within a few days. Enjoy!
