SARAH'S FAVORITE MOLASSES SPICE COOKIES



Sarah's Favorite Molasses Spice Cookies image

When my daughter was young I was blessed to be an at home Mom. I would bake dozens of different types of cookies for the Christmas holiday. Now that I work fulltime each family member gets to chose a couple cookies for me to bake. This past year Sarah made these for all to enjoy. We do not double this recipe as the dough is stiff and its very hard to stir in larger batches.
