So, if you have a metabolism like a cheetah and can eat whatever you want, whenever you want, I'd suggest getting on this cookie recipe pronto. For all of you others, you may want to be a little more conservative. The cookies are so good that it's hard to eat just one.....or two......or three.....
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
1/4 cup molasses
Directions
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a shallow bowl, place 1/2 cup sugar; set aside.
2.With an electric mixer, beat butter and remaining cup of sugar until combined. Beat in egg and then molasses until combined. Reduce speed to low; gradually mix in dry ingredients, just until a dough forms.
3.Pinch off and roll dough into balls, each equal to 1 tablespoon. Roll balls in reserved sugar to coat.
4.Arrange balls on baking sheets, about 3 inches apart. Bake, one sheet at a time, until edges of cookies are just firm, 10 to 15 minutes (cookies can be baked two sheets at a time, but they will not crackle uniformly). Cool 1 minute on baking sheets; transfer to racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container up to 4 days.

Mmmmm...I love molasses cookies. They are fun to bake, and disappear SO fast!
Can't tell you how much I enjoy living vicariously through the pregnancy with you! We would have loved to have more, and anytime I can "join in" babyland is a blessing. Pole beans are a must! Take a nice, long walk with hubby (and kids if they want and can go) and enjoy this time...soon, very soon...life will be much fuller and I wish you this piece of peace for one more walk!
Blessings.
oh yum..you deserve these cookies .
i am going to have to make them, and soon.
It's almost time!!! Yay!!! I can't wait. I am going to come by this week and get those clothes from you.
I bet you are getting so anxious to meet your little Mason!!
My boys made some chocolate chip cookies today. And instead of making them normal size, they used a 1/4 cup to measure out the dough per cookie. They are big and good and fattening and I've had way too much!! ha ha
I was reading your other post also. You must have some late bloomers because the chicks we got in May have been laying for about 1 month already. I'm glad because my older hens are slowing down on their egg production.
