You can use honey, maple syrup, or dark corn syrup as substitutes for molasses in cookies.
Gingersnap cookies, baked beans, crumb cake, spice cookies, pumpkin bread, barbecue sauce, molasses cookies, bran muffins, molasses taffy, banana bread, glazed pork, date bars, molasses cake, molasses candy, carrot cake, molasses doughnuts, it can also be used to sweeten coffee, or put on pancakes and waffles. I have even seen lollypops made with it.

No, molasses is a thick syrup that is a by-product from processing sugar from sugar beets or sugarcane. Maple syrup is made from the sap of maple trees that has been boiled down. Both are quite tasty :-)
Dark molasses cookies can be found on Mackinac Island in upper Michigan :)
You can spread it on bread, use it is drinks in place of sugar, and make cookies and candy using it.
A good substitute for molasses in cookies to achieve a similar flavor profile is dark corn syrup or maple syrup.
Molasses was important mainly because it was used to make rum.
