    Molasses Sugar Cookie

    YUM! Molasses Ginger Sugar Cookies are one of my all-time favorite family Christmas cookie recipes.

    Rich-Spicy-Crunchy-Chewy

    Rich, spicy flavor with a little crunch and chewy center, these cookies are sure to please. The heirloom recipe was passed down from my great grandmother to my mother. 

    These cookies are easy to make and will be a wonderful addition to your family's Christmas cookie collection.

    Once you've tasted these charming treats you won't be able to stop at just one!

      Oh boy, I've got to try these Rebecka. I believe I have all the ingredients except that my molasses are not organice. Yes, I will definitely get these going this afternoon so that they will be coming out of the oven just as my husband is walking in. The scent will be intoxicating. Tee hee. Thanks for sharing. Happy Holidays.
