As a kid, these cookies really confused me. They tasted just like a gingerbread...but were in a circle. And they were decorated with sugar...not icing. Someone got lazy and didn't wanna cut out gingerbread men?
Not the case. While they can satisfy a gingerbread craving with half the work, Molasses Cookies are not the same as Gingerbread Men.
Mom and I usually don't make them, but in a close second place behind pitzzelles, these are my Grandma's second favorite cookies. So we decided to whip up a batch this year. What a daughter won't do for her mother.
