Molasses Sugar Cookies
Hey there again! Welcome to day 2 of the 12 days of Christmas cookies. These molasses sugar cookies are tiny bites of soft heavenly goodness. I got this recipe from a family member and I'm pretty happy I snatched it up. If you're into a mixture of soft, tender sugar cookies and molasses cookies, these are for you! Oh and if you missed yesterday's post, it was chocolate drop sugar cookies and day 1 of the 12 days!
I usually enjoy dipping my cookies into coffee, tea, hot cocoa or milk. These, however, do not need it. They are a cookie dipper's dream come true. Perfectly tender. Once of my favorites part of the cookie is the size I made them. There's something that makes me just love itty bitty cookies. Let's be honest. Basically anything that's itty bitty steals my heart.
