Spiced and Glazed Molasses Cookies

4.5

(7)

Three rows of spiced molasses cookies against a reddishbrown background.

If you’d like an even more pronounced molasses flavor, use a robust instead of mild molasses. Just don’t use blackstrap in these cookies; not only will it be too strong and bitter, but it will overwhelm the spices.
