Taste wise they were good...I added extra spice. Visually, they didn't turn out looking like the picture. I didn't get the beautiful crinkles that are showing in the picture. They were brown (tasty) but not very pretty little brown blobs.
If I knew how to fix it, I might make them again, but most likely I won't.
But again...the flavor was there.

The first time I tried this recipe was last month, around Thanksgiving, and I will say - don't bother baking a single batch because they'll be gone so fast that you'll just be making more in a hurry. My family demolished a batch at lightening speed and said the only thing they want me to change about the recipe is how many I make. When you say these are addictive, you're really not kidding. I'm making a double batch for Christmas and I doubt they'll last much longer than the first. Thank you for a great recipe. It's a keeper.

FAMILY FAVORITE! Everyone in my family looks forward to these molasses cookies at Christmas. I delete the nutmeg. Makes a PERFECT cookie.

These were by far better than I expected. So pleased! I doubled the recipe but only got about 50 cookies so if you're making a big batch for Christmas, you'll want to account for that. I'll be making another double batch because they were so good. I did reduce the ginger because I hate it and upped the cinnamon and cloves.

This recipe nails the appearance and texture I was hoping for. I will definitely make these cookies again and I will double the amount of all of the spices in the recipe.

These are amazing, and I have tried dozens of recipes. I tripled the cinnamon and doubled the nutmeg for a kick of flavor. They were devoured. These will be may go-to for neighbor Christmas presents.

Unfortunately no the cookies would spread much differently.

Can I substitute oil for the butter in this recipe?

Not a typo. More baking soda will make your cookies spread more. I would chill the dough through for less spread.
