Although I love a good molasses cookie year-round, I’m all for putting them front and center during the holidays. The heady sweetness of the molasses, the warming blend of spices, and the imperfectly perfect cracks are a balm for dark and dreary days. These are the Chewy Molasses Spice Cookies from “Dessert Person” by @csaffitz . They’re easy and delicious, and worth it as a last minute addition to any scheduled holiday baking. 🌲 #molassescookies #chewymolassesspicecookies #clairesaffitz #dessertperson #holidaybaking #baking #bakersofinstagram #vintage #porcelain #holidaycookies #christmascookies #cookieexchange #clarksonpotter (at Blaine, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJJBBtGA_S3/?igshid=1nejl52pr2fn0

10. Bake cookies in preheated oven for about 7-9 minutes. Using a teaspoon measuring spoon, indent the center of each cookie again. Allow cookies to cool before filling.
Filling
1. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt white chocolate chips, and stir in 4 ½ teaspoons of milk. Stir in the spices and molasses.
