Grandma’s Molasses Cookie Ornaments

Growing up, I remember my Grandma making these adorable molasses cookie ornaments every year. She always waited to hang them until we were coming over, then we’d each get to take a few to hang on the tree. Then, on Christmas Day, we’d get to eat them off the tree…even if they were a tad stale, for us kids it was pretty fun. 🙂

These cookies are perfect to take to a cookie exchange/cookie swap! I love these pretty Christmas-cookie themed recipe cards that are a free PDF!

It was such a fun tradition that I’ve started it with my own family! My kids and I made these last year, and they couldn’t believe we were hanging “real cookies” on our tree!

I love that these molasses cookie ornaments are stable and durable, yet they’re not hard to bite into. They’re just the perfect texture.

I do love a good chewy molasses cookie like Danielle’s over at Live Well Bake Often….but they just won’t hold up for Christmas ornaments like these ones of Grandma’s will.

Make sure you put a hole in the cookie BEFORE baking. We used a straw to make the hole that we’d need for threading the twine through for hanging.

We used THIS twine because the red and white candy cane stripes are so festive!

Your edible ornaments will be adorable whether you use a gingerbread boy cutter, a bear (Grandma always used a bear), or another shape!

Ours is similar to THIS ONE.

  201. The dough was very powdery and dry. I checked and verified I used the correct amount of ingredients. I had to add more molasses , butter, sugar , and 1/2 cup water to get it to doughy texture. Any advice on what went wrong?

    • It sounds like you may have used flour that had “settled,” meaning too much because it can pack down over time. Try sifting your flour first, or what I do typically is just shake up my flour canister to unsettle it. 😜
