1/2 C. Sugar

EAT AND ENJOY!

ReplyDeleteI just made these the other day, but made a giant mistake; I did not make them big enough! I am going to make mine over and as the saying goes...go big or go home.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind {brand} of molasses do you use?

I made these for a Bible study group. They came out great! Especially good when still warm as they are crunchy on the outside and still chewy on the inside! I already had a favorite gingerbread cookie recipe but this one is a close second and I will make them again! Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteYour cookies look so yummy!
