Molasses Spice Cookies
Need a tasty treat to keep you going? Try one of these Molasses Spice Cookies. Better now, right?!
The Occasion: Back to school – either literally if you have school-age kids, or figuratively if you’re an office worker for whom Summer Fridays are no longer a thing.

During a big routine change it is nice to find a sweet treat in your brown bag lunch every once in a while. These tasty Molasses Spice Cookies will do the trick.
The Recipe: This recipe comes from Once A Month Meals, a cool website that features recipes which are good to prepare today and even better to make a freezer-full in advance.

The team of blog contributors offers a lot of great resources for busy home cooks including recipe instructions for cooking now and freezing for later.

​So helpful!
What Makes This Special: In addition to the awesome flavor, you can freeze the cookie dough nuggets and bake off only what you need each time. 2-3 cookies, or a whole bunch, it’s up to you.

Serve With: Cuppa tea. Glass of milk. Sip of tawny port? Click on the photos to enlarge them and read the captions.
The Verdict: These are not sexy show-off cookies. They will never win a competition. But man oh man are they good. And familiar. Comfort food in the very best possible way. This is a great cookie to have in your recipe repertoire.
