Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, salt, and spices. Set aside.

In a large bowl, heat the butter in the microwave in 20 second increments until fully melted.

Whisk in the sugars, then the molasses until fully combined.

Next, whisk in the egg and vanilla until fully combined.

Fold the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined.

Fold in 150g of the chocolate.

Using a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop, place the cookie dough on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.

Roll each cookie dough ball in granulated sugar, then top each with chopped chocolate.

Bake the cookies for about 10 minutes.

Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Bloom Your Spices 🌟
Toast the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves in a dry pan for 30 seconds before mixing into your dry ingredients to intensify their warm flavors and create a more complex, aromatic cookie.
Brown Your Butter First 🧈
Melt your unsalted butter and let it cool slightly before creaming with sugars—this adds a rich, nutty depth that complements the molasses and elevates the overall flavor profile.
Don't Skip the Cornstarch 🎯
This ingredient creates chewy centers with crispy edges; use it as specified since it replaces some flour and changes the cookie's texture for that perfect molasses cookie bite.
Fold in Chocolate Last 🍫
Add your chocolate chips after the dough is fully mixed and just before scooping to prevent overmixing, which keeps your cookies tender and ensures even chocolate distribution throughout.
Underbake Slightly for Chewiness ⏲️
Remove cookies from the oven when the edges are set but the centers still look slightly underdone—they'll continue cooking on the pan and develop the signature chewy texture molasses cookies are known for.
