REVIEWS:

I got more than 18 cookies from the recipe...I'd would rather have smaller cookies. Mine turned out quite soft...were they supposed to?

These were so, so yummy! My whole family loved them!

First time we tried them, they reminded me of my favorite oatmeal sandwich cookie, but better. I sometimes substitute raisins or craisins with white chocolate chips. Yum!

This is definitely a favorite! It's very satisfying and the cinnamon and molasses really make it wonderful!

I have to admit that when I saw the recipe called for molasses and cinnamon I was a little intrigued. After making them, I was pleasantly surprised at what a nice twist the molasses and cinnamon added to the cookies! They were quick and easy to make and very yummy!! It's a keeper. I will be adding this recipe to my list of favorites for sure.

These are very good they remind me of cookies my grandma would make. They fill the house with the scent of cinnamon and molasses. Awesome!!
