What is a good Substitute for molasses?

Question

Im Trying to make gingerbread cookies but i dont have molasses, what can i use instead
or could you provide a different recipe that doesnt include molasses?

Answer 1

Molasses Substitute

For 1 cup, use

1 cup honey; OR 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar; OR 1 cup dark corn syrup; OR 1 cup pure maple syrup.

Answer 2

1 (6 ounce) package butterscotch pudding mix
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 egg
2 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
--Cream pudding and pie filling mix with butter and sugar; add egg, and blend well. Combine flour, baking soda, ginger, and cinnamon; blend into pudding mixture. Chill dough for 1 hour or until firm. Roll dough on a floured board to about 1/4 inch thickness and cut with cookie cutter. Place on greased baking sheets; use a straw to make a hole in the top of the cookie for hanging on the tree, if desired. Bake at 350F for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack. Decorate if desired.

Maybe you have butterscotch pudding? If you don't have a 6 oz box, just use a 3 oz box and cut the rest of the recipe in half also.

Enjoy!
