  1. The frosting on these molasses cookies makes them oustanding! I like molasses cookies anyway, and I absolutely loved these! They were soft and tender, and very easy to put together. Thanks for posting such a good recipe!
     
  2. This soft dough puffs up into beautiful cake-like cookies that taste like gingerbread. I scooped teaspoonfuls of the batter, spaced them on a greased baking sheet. One recipe yielded 65 one and a half inch cookies. I cut the frosting recipe in half because I didn't want so much. I was still able to frost all but about 10 cookies. Thank you very much for sharing this delightful recipe.
     
  3. These are DELICIOUS! Made them for a work function--they baked up beautifully and tasted wonderful. Easy, easy recipe too. Thanks!
