Chewy Vanilla Chip Molasses Cookies
Perfectly chewy molasses cookies with just the right amount of vanilla and spice. You’re going to want to add these Chewy Vanilla Chip Molasses Cookies to your holiday baking list! GUEST POST: Recipe by LilaLoa
Hello all my new friends!! We are friends, aren’t we? I mean that whole “Any friend of Katrina’s is a friend of mine” thing is legit right? Because if we’re not friends, things are going to get a little bit awkward around here when Katrina finds out. Would it help if I introduce myself? I’m Georganne and I blog over at LilaLoa. I make cookies pretty much every day of my life. It’s what I do.
I don’t normally get to make super fun delicious cookies like these white chocolate chip molasses cookies though. I normally just make regular type delicious cookies. And mostly those cookies end up looking like something besides a cookie. So you can imagine that being part of Katrina’s sparkly blog and her annual cookie event is kind of a highlight of my whole blogging year.
And now that we are really, truly friends, I can also tell you that I brought you a present. It’s these cookies. You get the best of both worlds – festive and seasonal molasses cookies with the comfort and child appeal of the white chocolate chips. Everyone wins. Especially me. Because I love them. And now I have lots of them at my house. And if you wanted to make just dozens of them and have them at your house too, I would be cool with that.
Katrina — Thanks for giving me an excuse to make these! And for sharing all your friends with me. They are fantastic!

I just made these cookies and made them according to the recipe with one cup of vanilla chips. Although the flavor is good I was not happy with the end product. The dough did not hold together well, was a little stiff and crumbly before baking and they did not flatten out very well while baking. I think if I were to make these again in the future I would use two eggs instead of one and I think I would end up with a better product.
Ok, so I just found this recipe today on Pinterest. Idk why it took me so long to come across it. I made these today and what a hit they are. My Husband and son can’t stop raving about them. They are absolutely delicious. The flavors are out of this world between the molasses and cinnamon and brown sugar, and you can’t forget bout the yummy white chocolate chips, which btw I did not skimp on at all. I actually used a little more than a cup and a half , prob close to 2 cups lol. The only thing I did that was not in the recipe was add a small bag of Heath pieces, not the chocolate ones, just the the little toffee pieces. It gave the cookies a great extra flavor and little sticky,crunchy bites which were great with the white chocolate chips. I will definitely be making these over and over again and definitely when I am having company. They look and taste professionally made. Thanks so much!!! YUM!
These look delicious, but my fam does not like nutmeg, Would you increase the allspice/cinnamon or both evenly?
These are so good!! Just made up a batch. These will be a repeat for sure!!
These cookies are cooling on my counter as I type this…and they’ll be on my list of “must make” projects for every coming Christmas. Although I think they’re yummy, their rise to this status isn’t because of how they taste. It’s because my house smells ABSOLUTELY AMAZING right now! It’s like Christmas wrapped in a grandmother’s hug and covered in home. 🙂
Hi Katrina, these look awesome. What is the yield of this recipe? I plan to make them and want to be sure I don’t make too many or not enough.
I just spoke with Georganne and she said 3 dozen 2″ cookies. Thanks!
These look so chewy and delicious!
Making these right now. Can’t wait to see how they turn out. Thanks for sharing!!
Great! Stop back and let us know how you liked them.
So inviting!! These are going on the cookie exchange list!
Awesome! Thanks Sommer- stop back and let us know how you loved them 🙂
Katrina — Thank you so much for letting me be part of your cookie party!!
Thank YOU for bringing the cookies! ♥
Cookies everyday? Oh, you’re my kind of gal. These cookies look all sorts of wonderful. Pinned.
Yes she is my kind of friend too! Seriously! Cookies for life! 🙂
Mmmm…these look yumilicious! And it just so happens that I already have all the ingredients on hand. And a day off tomorrow. Can’t wait for the first chewy bite. Thank you, ladies, for feeding (one of) my favorite addictions!
oooooh I love the combo of vanilla and molasses!! So comforting!
Hi Georganne and Katrina! These cookies look unbelievably good!! I am a complete fool for molasses and white chocolate/vanilla chip together.
