Notes: I love molasses and I love chewy cookies! Sometimes I'll forego the chocolate chip cookies to get extra molasses enjoyment. If the cookies come out a little too under-done for you, increase the baking time up to 10 minutes; each oven has its own personality. Also, you just learned a life-hack (or cooking-hack, really), too. You made your own brown sugar! You could just use brown sugar instead, if you'd like. In fact, that'd probably make things easier too, since molasses can be a little tricky, especially if you're baking these with your kids. But the molasses flavor is totally worth the extra step, I promise.
