You can use brown sugar and get close to the same flavor...a lot of people don't like molasses...I love it,,,but I make this way for a crowd...
1 cup butter
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
2/3 cup corn syrup
1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Directions
1 In a medium saucepan, Stir together the margarine,
brown sugar, and corn syrup over medium heat until dissolved.
Pour into a large mixing bowl, and let cool for 5 minutes.
Stir the egg and vanilla into the melted mixture until
smooth. Sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon,
ginger, and cloves; stir into the wet mixture. Cover and chill
dough for a few hours or overnight.
2 Preheat oven to 325 degrees F ( 165 degrees C ).
3 On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4
inch thickness. Cut into bear shapes with a cookie cutter,
and place onto an unprepared cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to
15 minutes in the preheated oven, cookies should be firm

They won't taste like gingerbread if they don't have the mollases, so I would just stick to the sugar cookies tonight.

Brown sugar would be a better replacement, but your going to get a totally different cookie out of it! Better to stick with the corn syrup!

Your gingerbread cookies will be missing the deep dark flavor of molasses. Sugar cookies sound great; mix up colored icing and decorate like crazy! Or, use the light corn syrup for popcorn balls!

Try getting molasses in Mexico and they will send you to an animal feed store. I use melted piloncillo, which is crude cane sugar sold in cone shaped portions. Works just fine, but allrecipes has a recipe that does not call for molasses and the cookie is not as spicy. Not everyone likes spicy gingerbread.

Always keep a jar of molasses,
a jar of dark Karo syrup and
a bottle of maple flavoring.
these 3 can handle a lot of
problems. Oh some rum flavoring also.

No, not at all. Most of the flavor comes from the mollases.

Absolutely NOT.........the molasses is what gives the gingerbread cookies the depth of flavor.......
go to FineCooking.com and read about their testing of molasses for their gingerbread crinkle cookies.....
