TWD: Sugar Topped Molasses Cookies
Chewy warm molasses cookies are spiked with allspice, ginger and pepper; this is the ultimate molasses cookie.
Pamela of Cookies with Boys picked this weeks Tuesdays with Dorie (TWD) challenge and a good challenge at that. This post is going to be short, sweet and to the point (only because I am a bit sick and I have too much on my plate right now – not cookies either). I love ginger snap cookies. Now I love sugar topped molasses cookies even more. This cookie is slightly crispy but still chewy, spicy but warm and I love the addition of fresh cracked pepper, it really brings all the spice of this cookie together. I think we have found the cookie for the holidays!
Be sure to check out all the other TWD bakers, I am sure they have some goodies for you to be inspired by. Recipe can be found here – by the way the Baking: From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan, is the only baking book you ever need to own, there is a sweet for everyone you bake for.
Mmmm this looks so good! I love how Dorie includes pepper into the most unexpected recipes. Can’t wait to do this one myself.
These are Corbin’s fav!! He is discriminating and 15 so imagine how fun to find something this wonderful YAY!
Hope you are better soon

O.M.G I am in love with Molasses cookies. Yours look fantastic – just made some last week but now I am going to make them again with your recipe!
These are a great cookie for fall and the holidays, and different than the norm!
Im glad you liked them. I dipped mine in white chocolate and loved them! Yours look great!
This isn’t fair, I’m getting bombarded with tweets of delicious cookies! It doesn’t help that your cookies and food photography are awesome. I haven’t baked cookies from scratch since I was little and added too much butter thus making chocolate chip crisps. What would be a good cookie starter recipe?
Shanti,
A good starter … this cookie is really easy as well as any chocolate chip. One cannot go wrong w/chocolate! The Dorie Greenspan book that is mentioned in this post, is really a must, all of her recipes are right on and she has some very easy and delicious cookies! You should get it!
Love that picture. Thanks for baking the cookie with me and I’m glad you liked it. Feel better and take care!
