This is my son Ben's favorite cookie. For a tender tangier cookie use buttermilk in place of the milk.

I didn't care for this cookie. The batter was runny and it was difficult to keep the bottoms from burning. I had to lower my oven's temperature and reduce cooking time. Also they tasted bad but it may not necessarily have to do with the recipe itself maybe I just don't like molasses cookies. Read More

Great tangy not-too-sweet soft cookie. I doubled the spices and added cinnamon and it is just like a mini-ginger bread. Read More
