soft batch molasses cookies
Molasses cookies are one of my all time favorites. I like them soft with plenty of spice. These cookies will remind you of autumn and the holiday season. They would be perfect for gift giving, just double or triple the recipe. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do. Other than measuring out the multiple ingredients, they are really quite easy to make.
