There is nothing better than a good 'ol fashioned molasses cookie. Rich, chewy, and delicious these are always a hit around my house. You can smell them baking in the oven, and there is nothing better than stealing one the minute they hit the counter. These cookies are rich and full of flavor using several spices already available in your pantry. Who says you can't have wonderful food on a limited budget? We do get sweet treats from our pantry from time to time, but there is nothing better than home baked cookies that spell love fluently in any language!
