I told you guys that we had some fun baking this past weekend and when I was deciding what cookies to bake, I really wanted to make Molasses Cookies. It is one recipe that my grandmas used to make all the time. You don’t see Molasses Cookies much anymore, so I wanted to share this one…they are delicious!

Could you make a 1/2 batch if you used just the egg white (or just the yolk?) What would such a change do to the texture/softness of the cookies?
I haven’t tried that yet, but I would be willing too 🙂 Persoanlly, I think that is a great idea! It sure makes a bunch! My dad is coming to visit and promises to eat at least 30 though LOL. The cookies are actually very soft and the dough…even after being chilled it easy to work with…very moist. If you try it – let me know how you do 🙂
