INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 1/2 cups molasses
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

DIRECTIONS

  1. Bring water and molasses to a boil in a saucepan. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a separate saucepan over low heat. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring occasionally, for a few minutes until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the pan.
  2. Pour the molasses mixture into the flour, stirring to form a ball. Fold in chopped walnuts. Drop onto waxed paper by the spoonful, and allow to cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container.
