EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Instead of a sprinkle of sugar, dress up these moist spice cookies with your favorite white frosting.

Before measuring the molasses, spray the measuring cup with cooking spray; the molasses will slide right out of the cup!

This was so easy to make and the texture as well as the taste was exceptionally good. I did have to pat them down a bit on the cookie sheet so they were not so thick, however this was a personal preference and does not reflect on the recipe itself. I made these with my mother (83) and we both enjoyed the time and taste.
