Molasses Crinkles

Click on the Cooking Thursday Banner, to be taken to Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, our awesome host of Cooking Thursday! You will find many other GREAT recipes!!!

This week, I am sharing a special recipe to me! I know it's the 2nd time I have shared it for Cooking Thursday, but with the new cookbook and all, I wanted to share again. Hope yall don't mind. It's a cookie recipe that is passed to me from my Mother in Law. She has made these since she was a kid. Her and I use to make this while we were making all our Christmas cookies to share with others!

Guess what arrived to my house! It was one of the first items to arrive in the mail at the new place! What a treat it was, to get last week! (The first piece of mail was a letter from GBP saying another recipe was being featured in a upcoming fall recipe book!) My free copy of 101 Cupcake, Cookie, & Brownie Recipes! My Molasses Crinkles are published in the cookbook!!! I am so excited!!! (I have 2 more free cookbooks coming in the coming months, with 2 other awesome recipes!)
