“I made these cookies 3 times now & everytime they have turned out perfectly & taste wonderful! This time rolled the dough in balls, rolled in sugar & put them in a freezer bag & will bake when needed. Hopefully it tastes just as great! When ” — a cook, 5.0★
“My husband loves molasses cookies. I had been buying at our Farmers market at $2.25 per cookie. I tried this recipe and he loved them. They didn't turn out as big as the ones in the picture but they were still delicious and soft in the middle. I decided we did” — a cook, 5.0★
