  1. Great! I only had an 1/8 of a cup of molasses so added pure maple syrup to make up the difference.
     
  2. Fantastic!!!! I made these for PAC 2007 and they are great!!! My youngest is going nuts, wanting to eat the whole batch!!! They come out kinda thin, but still soft. They WOULD be perfect as a sandwich cookie...I'm gonna try that next time!!
