These cookies are too sweet for my taste. I'm going to reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and dry. I'm going to try again and see if I can get them right next time.

I was a bit hesitant to try these cookies because I'm not a huge fan of molasses, but I'm so glad I did! They're not overly sweet, and the molasses flavor is subtle but delicious.
