One of our favorite family Christmas traditions, like many of you, is doing some holiday baking together. Today I’m sharing one of our very favorite holiday cookie recipes–molasses crinkles. I shared this recipe last year, and had to do it again because it’s just so very yummy.
This is a recipe I picked up years ago at a cookie exchange my neighbor hosted. We’ve tweaked it a bit over the years and made it our own. These cracked, sugar-covered cookies are perfect for fall and the holiday season!
For my family, baking goodies is also valuable time spent together. There are always at least a couple of willing helpers in the kitchen, and this is one of their favorite recipes to make. Enjoy!
