Chewy, chocolatey and perfectly spiced, these chocolate molasses cookies are the perfect addition to your holiday cookie boxes. With a deep chocolate flavor and chewy, fudgy texture with a delicate crunch of granulated sugar on the outside, they are sure to become a fast favorite!
The secret to extra chewy, fudgy cookies that stay soft for days is threefold: brown sugar instead of white, an extra egg yolk, and melted butter instead of creamed—melted butter also means no electric mixer is required (though you can certainly use one if you like!)
Soft, chewy molasses cookies are some of my favorite holiday cookies, but I always lament the lack of chocolate. Personally, I love the combination of gingerbread and chocolate (it’s a combo I’ve used multiple times before with delightful results). So I figured, why not take the perfectly chewy, crinkly molasses cookie and make it chocolate?
The result is nothing short of decadent: an intensely flavored, satisfyingly chewy cookie spiked with sultry molasses flavor, fragrant ginger and cinnamon spices, plus a intense hit of cocoa powder. Oh, and a pinch of instant espresso powder to enhance the bittersweet flavor of the chocolate even more (it’s such a small amount that the cookies don’t actually taste like coffee, I promise, though you can certainly leave it out if you wish).
