What NICE COOKIES. I told the guys at work to try a couple cookies, they went through half of them wondering about the flavor,( curious ), when I told them it was KC Masterpiece BBQ sauce, they really were surprised, even though the taste of BBQ is there, Definately taste it. They eant more, so I guess it is back to the drawing board. YOU GOT A WINNER HERE.

These are fabulous. The guys like them with beer -- surprise! Before telling people these had BBQ sauce in them, the first guess from them was "molasses?" KC Masterpiece BBQ sauce is like a sweet and spicy molasses -- maybe it's the new molasses? Like 50 is the new 40? Yes, I like to think so! Yeehaw! Thanks, Mary! Made for 123 Hit Wonders Tag.
