Molasses Cookies

December 15, 2009 4 Comments

 

I love these cookies! Someone might call them Gingersnaps but they aren’t…the molasses is distinct in their flavor and does compliment the ginger perfectly.

They are something we make in the fall and serve with apples but are also a staple in our Christmas cookie jar. They are best if they aren’t allowed to completely dry out…crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside…perfect!

    Can I use butter to replace crisco?

      You can Diane; the texture will be crisper and not so chewy but I've done it before so I know it works. I love using butter more but for this cookie I go the Crisco route for that texture.

    These look so yummy! Molasses cookies and gingersnaps are my favorite. I use them a lot in cooking and baking, and of course appreciate them with some milk! (or wine) :p
