I absolutely love Soft Molasses Cookies. This is by far my favorite cookie recipe to make. What really makes these molasses cookies awesome is that I use cake flour instead of All-Purpose Flour. If you are looking for the real deal, you've found it!
Curious where Molasses comes from? I was and this is what I discovered. Probably not the healthiest for you but they are probably once of the tastiest cookies you will ever have!

This cookies look very good. At the top of the page you mention that you use "Bread Flour”in the cookies, but in the ingredients you say to use “Cake Flour”, can you clarify which type of flour you use? I really want to make them and have them turn out right.
Oh My! What a terrible typo on my part. The recipe card is correct. I use cake flour for these cookies. All Purpose Flour works equally as well, just not as fluffy. Thanks for letting us know!
