Shoofly Cookie

The Shoofly Cookie is a twist on Pennsylvania Dutch Shoofly Pie, a classic Amish and Mennonite dessert known for its rich molasses flavor and crumbly topping. Shoofly Pie originated in Pennsylvania as a simple, sugar-based pie made with pantry staples, popular for its deep molasses taste and buttery crumb topping. The Shoofly Cookie takes these same flavors and transforms them into a soft, cinnamon-spiced cookie with a gooey molasses topping and a signature shortbread-like crumb. It captures the essence of the traditional pie in a portable, bite-sized treat, perfect for those who love the deep, comforting taste of PA Dutch baking.
