This month we are allowed to post out of order, which is a real blessing for me because I’m still out of town, and I made these a couple weeks ago before I hit the road. So, if you check out the blogroll, you will find bakers making all sorts of things this month to fit in better with Thanksgiving plans. One TWDer, Pamela of Cookies with Boys, decided on Sugar-Topped Molasses Spice Cookies on pages 76 and 77.
These are easy to throw together, but the dough does have to sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (longer is better), so plan accordingly.
The results? A nice little spice cookie, that I thought was a bit too sweet and needed more spice. If I make them again, I’m going to increase the ginger and cut back on the sugar. I did add some bits of crystalized ginger to the dough, and I’m glad I did – the pieces that did not dissolve were a nice little surprise to bite into.
Be sure to check out the blogroll, because everyone is doing something different every week this month.

Thanks for baking along with me! Your cookies look lovely. Next time, I am going to up the pepper and ginger, too.
Crystalized ginger sounds like a great addition. I went with extra pepper and it did bump up the flavour. Love your photos!
YUM! Your cookies look great.
