What is the best flavor of molasses to use in a cookie recipe?!
THANKS!
Answers: I want to make Molasses cookies that have the best molasses flavor! what flavor would you suggest: Blackstrap or another? I will probably use the Brer Rabbit brand
THANKS!
I find blackstrap FAR too overwhelming for baking! It overpowers. The regular variety of Brer Rabbit is very good, though!
Black treacle.
I personally use dark molasses in my cookies, black strap would be interesting to try though.
I think that you are going with the best choice. I make the best gingersnaps ever and I only use Brer Rabbit!
Blackstrap molasses will be a bit strong tasting for cookies..try just the regular dark molasses..just use the ORIGINAL Brer Rabbit Full Flavor Molasses in the Green Label Glass Bottle
The thick viscous syrup calledl blackstrap molasses that provides the robust bittersweet flavor to baked beans and gingerbread is available throughout the year.
Blackstrap molasses is just one type of molasses, the dark liquid byproduct of the process of refining sugar cane into table sugar. It is made from the third boiling of the sugar syrup and is therefore the concentrated byproduct left over after the sugar's sucrose has been crystallized.
enjoy your baking..
I know that we have always used Grandma's original unsulphured molasses because it worked a little better and tasted better than Brer Rabbit. We have always used this and it works really well (we use it usually when making cookies and puffed rice balls). Hope this helps and good luck!
