- I changed the amount of salt in here. My original recipe calls for 1 tsp of salt but that may be too much for some. A few people have made it as is (the majority) with no complaints on salt, however a few commented it was too much. I think 1/2 tsp can be used with no alterations to the recipe. I will leave it up to you either way you still WIN !

SOFT MOLASSES COOKIES
I've tried a lot of molasses cookies since I was a girl on the farm, and as far as I'm concerned, these are simply the best. To keep them soft and chewy, store in a tightly covered container along with a slice of raw apple. These cookies freeze beautifully, too...if you can keep them away from "snitchers" long enough to get them in the freezer!

Tips:
- Use the right ingredients: Make sure you have all the necessary ingredients and that they are of good quality. The type of molasses you use will greatly affect the flavor of the cookies, so choose a molasses that you enjoy the taste of.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The cookies should be baked at a moderate temperature so that they have a chance to cook through without burning.
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving: The cookies will continue to set as they cool, so let them cool completely before serving.
Conclusion:
Soft molasses cookies are a delicious and classic treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual gathering to a holiday party. With a few simple tips, you can make soft molasses cookies that are sure to be a hit.
