Mom's Molasses Cookies
SUBMITTED BY:
Brenda Beachy
"The kitchen smells so good when Mom is baking these yummy cookies, which we like to make with sorghum. They're chewy and tender, with a sugary coating. It's hard to eat just one! -Brenda Beachy Belvidere, Tennessee"

I just made these cookies for the first time, and what can I say...they are fabulous. Soft and chewy with just a hint of spice and molasses flavoring. I can't wait to share them with my family.

There is one word for these cookies: FANTASTIC! We traded a quart of maple syrup for a quart of sorghum mollasses and I needed a recipe to use. This was THE one. Everyone loved them. Thank you for posting.
