Contrary to popular opinion, molasses cookies can be and should be enjoyed all year long...don't you think? I know they are kinda gingerbready, but we make them year-round. I love making them for summer picnics because they are a nice, sturdy cookie. Perfect for toting on bike rides, on hikes and to summer concerts. A few years ago, I started putting bread flour into my cookies. They are a bit more dense and chewier. I have no scientific proof of why...but you will have to try it and let me know what you think.
Do you enjoy molasses cookies all year...or are they only baked at Christmas?
