TWD: Sugar-Topped Molasses Spice Cookies


YAY! I finally got a TWD completed! Sure, I just baked these a few hours ago, but at least I got them made and am getting my post up on Tuesday. Not too shabby. :)

These cookies were fantastic! I know molasses is a tricky ingredient. People usually either love it or hate it. I personally LOVE molasses cookies, so I knew that I would love these. This particular recipe calls for black pepper to add additional spice but I omitted that because I wasn't sure if the kids (or me for that matter!) would like it.

Thanks to Pamela of Cookies with Boys for hosting this week. The recipe can be found at her blog.

    Yeah, I left out the black pepper too - and these were just great, definitely worth making again.

    I'm glad to see you post another TWD recipe! These cookies were great, weren't they? I did add a little pinch of pepper, and I liked it. It gave it just a little bit of heat.

    I baked these this week and did put a generous pinch of pepper in. I really didn't notice it and thought I would add more next time I make them. Yours look delicious!

    Nothing (to me) says the holidays are coming more than spice cookies. I could eat a whole hand full of these with a cold glass of milk.

    Wow, those look like a good cookie exchange cookie. I'm not too sure I would have put pepper in my cookies either.
