- The cookies will expand less and less the longer the dough sits. My first sheet of cookies, baked as soon as I was done mixing, doubled in size. My second sheet of cookies, baked about 20 minutes after the batter was done mixing, barely expanded in size. The amount of expansion will not affect the taste of the molasses cookies.
- Store molasses cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- Want to prep this molasses cookies recipe ahead of time? Mix up the dough and store it in an oiled and tightly sealed bag in the freezer. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before scooping and baking the cookies as directed.
- For extra flavor, try adding chopped nuts or shredded coconut to the cookies before baking!
