  1. Visiting from Tasty Tuesday @ Naptime Creations
    These cookies are so sparkly and pretty! Would look great on a holiday tray. Thanks!

  2. Thanks so much for this recipe. My husband loves molasses cookies and this recipe looks super easy, and I’m sure they’ll make the house smell yummy.

  4. How many cookies in one batch. It says 18 servings. I do not know how many cookies in a serving.
    Anyone know?

  5. These are the best molasses cookies I’ve ever made. Soft and chewy at first, then after a few days they are nicely cripsy.

    1. I think it would be fine to freeze the dough. While I have not tried that with this exact recipe, I have for many others and it has worked well!
