Wow. The week is already almost over. So, what do you think of my new look? I added another sidebar to my page and a few other small things. Many thanks to Shannon at 8 Eight Crazy Designs. I love this new look!
While out yesterday, I saw my first Christmas lights - way too early for me. Have you guys seen any in your area yet? On to #3 of the Top 10. You're probably thinking "Molasses Cookies"? Yes, but these aren't just another cookie. I am not a huge fan of Molasses Cookies, but these have quickly become my favorite.
"Molasses Cookies"3/4 c. soft butter
1 c. brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 c. molasses
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice (don't substitute "anything" for this)
3 c. flour
DIRECTIONS:
Mix first 4 ingredients. Mix dry ingredients in another bowl and add to the wet ingredients. Chill for 20 minutes in a plastic container uncovered. Roll dough into balls the size of a tablespoon and roll in sugar. Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 9 minutes at 350.
