These look delicious. Didn't you share a recipe for your grandpa's favorite molasses cookies? Are these the same ones?
ReplyDeleteDelicious! But I would have to omit the cloves, as I don't care for them. I'm sure they would still taste pretty good.
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious. I will make them the next time the grandkids are coming out to see us. Pleasant post about a pleasant grandmother.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
These cookies look and sound delicious, Sarah. I added molasses to my grocery list to have available in the pantry to try these.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this sweet memory ~ it reminded me of my own Nana's toll house cookies, which were a favorite of mine. :-)
These special memories are the best when they continue through generations! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
ReplyDeleteThese look just like the molasses cookies that my family made growing up. They are my Dad's favorite cookie and one of my favorites, too! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah~
ReplyDeleteThis recipe looks wonderful!!
I'm going to bake these and take them to Canada with us for my father-in-law when we go, which will be in less that two weeks. I just know that he will enjoy these cookies.
You know...I've been thinking of just what I was going to bake and take for him and hadn't quite decided, now I know of one thing I'll take. He loves butter tarts, so that will also be one thing I will bake.
Thank you for sharing your grandmother with us~
