Molasses Creams image

This is one of my favorite cookie recipes - making these treats seems to put me in a holiday mood. Maybe it's the soft centers, or perhaps the spicy aroma of ginger and cloves. Whatever the case, a few Molasses Creams and a glass of milk or cup of warm tea always hit the spot!

These molasses creams were a disappointment. The texture was grainy and the flavor was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making these again.

These molasses creams were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still enjoyable. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time. The texture was great, though, and I loved the molasses flavor.

These molasses creams were okay, but not great. The flavor was a bit too strong for my taste and the texture was a bit too dense. I think I would try a different recipe next time.
