Molasses Spice Cookies With Orange Essence I Made It

Molasses Spice Cookies with Orange Essence

otterpond 12 years ago
These Molasses Spice Cookies With Orange Essence cookies are perfect. The orange sugar used to roll the cookie dough scents the cookies with orange and makes the cookies crispy. Uploaded a couple of photos. One of my Father-in-law risking his skin to snatch them off the plate straight out of the oven.

These are awesome!! They are not too sweet, chewy in the center with a nice crackle top. Even with all the spice the kids loved them too, I didn't think they would but they've gone back for seconds. :)
I used half lemon and half orange zest. I love lemon in my gingerbread so I thought this would go nicely, and boy is the citrus sugar awesome! It just makes the recipe top notch!
I've had many molasses cookies that others have made, and they were never my favorite. But I can tell you after making this recipe it will go on every xmas platter for now on, I just love it!
I had about a 1/2 cup of leftover citrus sugar after rolling the cookies, so I used it in some pumpkin-orange muffins. :)

Oh wow, your photo is gorgeous, Cosmicmom! The recipe is very similar to my tried and true recipe, but I never would have thought of adding citrus to it. Nice touch!

The cookies taste like Christmas! I was going to freeze them and save them for Santa but I don't think Santa will get any this year, lol ;)
