I love molasses and spice together in many baked goods. Sometimes though, there is a bit too much molasses that overwhelms the experience. This new recipe of mine is light on the molasses and fairly generous with a variety of spices. The result is a light brownish tan cookie bursting with the tastes of the Fall Season. These are soft textured and remain moist for a good amount of time, if stored correctly. They are great on the first day, but, as anything with an abundance of spice.....they just get better and better as they age. Autumn Spice Cookies are a sure shot baking delight.
