Giant molasses cookies taste of home

These cookies are big, soft, dense and chewy. Unfortunately, to get the right texture you must use melted shortening. As much as I love butter, it just doesn't work properly in these cookies therefore shortening is key.

These soft molasses cookies are the most tender and chewy gingersnap cookies around! A must-make recipe for your Christmas cookie platters.

Not going to lie I was never a huge molasses cookie fan and the reason for that was because I had never tried one. I have always been such a picky eater that I figured I just wouldn't like them. But, my grandpa was always requesting I make him molasses cookies, but not just molasses cookies, soft molasses cookies. I figured I would give it a try and if I failed I just wouldn't give them to him. So I gave it a shot and they turned out alright. I could tell that I added way to much ground…

There's nothing really fancy about these cookies, but they're my husband's all-time favorite. He enjoys their chewy, comforting flavor and the childhood memories they bring back.
