When I was a little girl we had this elderly neighbor lady who would make molasses cookies for my family. Come to think of it, that lady scared the crap out me. She was a sweet as pie but she reminded me of the witch from Hansel and Gretel.
Despite all of that, I still ate her molasses cookies. Anyhoo, when this lady passed away, we didn’t get any more cookies, at least not like the ones she would make. So, as an adult, I set off on a search to find a recipe that mimicked hers.
And, I think I’ve found one. This recipe for molasses cookies is seriously easy to follow and bakes up a batch of the best cookies you’ve ever eaten. I love making these cookies during the fall because they make my house smell amazing.
