I love the infusion of flavours that come through in these Molasses cookies. These easy to make Fancy Molasses Coconut Cookies are crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside.
Fancy Molasses Coconut Cookies are so flavourful with the bold flavours of ginger with a subtle hint of nutmeg and cloves. The key ingredient to this rich, distinctive cookie is the fancy molasses, which keeps the cookie chewy on the inside and loaded with scrumptious flavour!
I had recently purchased a very large bag of shredded coconut and to help me use up all that coconut I’ve started adding in to just about everything. This time it was to my favourite Molasses Cookie recipe, and now I have a new favourite. The coconut tastes delicious with the molasses and adds even more chew to these tasty little treats.

I made the Fancy Molasses Coconut Cookies today. I must tell you they are delicious. I would say they are the best Molasses cookies I have ever made. And I have made a lot in my 65 years. The only thing I did different was I baked them in my Convection oven at 325 for 10 minutes and they came out perfect. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.
Wow Karen, you just made my day with your comment, and coming from an experienced baker!!
