Cookies are an easy treat to make for the fam. One of my all time favorite cookies is the Molasses cookie. (Eight little moles in a hole and the last one say, "I smell some Mol-Asses!" Sorry a little ditty that I learned from my GG) Whenever we go to Cafe Ladro, I pick one up instead of a coffee. Ethan and Grey love them too, but they add a hot chocolate to the Ladro bill. I finally decided to get a good recipe and make some for us to eat at home, maybe lessen that Ladro bill. I google searched it, and went from there. Of course I found many, but Martha had a good one that I had all the ingredients for. Click here to find it. I thought I would add a little cloves and allspice to "spice it up" some more, a quarter teaspoon for each. Can I just say THESE are my new FAVORITE cookies. I wanted to eat the whole batter before the cookies were done, but I resisted the urge. I rolled them all into little balls, dipped them in sugar and froze most of them. More than half are gone already, but originally most were frozen. Freezing the rolled balls makes it easy to preheat the oven and bake a couple at a time. (Bake for exactly 13 minutes btw.)
I had the great idea to get a picture of these yummies, but then remembered they were GONE... again. So, here you go for what's left.
