From super soft and chewy sugar. Molasses performs the same nifty trick that brown sugar will in baked goods, adding a firm chewiness to these cookies. "Crinkly" is an apt descriptor: The cookies are nearly crisp at the edges and though they are exceptionally chewy, they aren't soft. When you bake the cookies, they will puff up.
