I believe that life is a series of stories worth telling and man, do I have some to share! I am a wife and mom of 4 (and counting). I am a storyteller and dreamer turned blogger and podcaster. I delight in always finding something new to create and do around our home. I am passionate about living my life in joy through every season of marriage, motherhood, and business. I love to share our love and our life, authentically and unfiltered, to inspire you to find joy in your everyday. Cozy up and find something fun!

Nana's Molasses Cookies

This recipe is handed down from Joel's Nana. They are his favorite holiday cookie and have become Freddie's too. I love how moist and light they are and how everyone asks for one as soon as they get to my house.


Ingredients:

3/4 cup Vegetable Oil

1/4 cup Molasses

1 cup Sugar

1 Egg

2 cups All Purpose Flour

2 tsp Baking Soda

1/2 tsp Ginger

1/2 tsp Clove

1 tsp Cinnamon

1/2 tsp Salt

1/2 cup Sugar to coat before baking

(Sub Spices for Essential Oils: Use 1/2 drop ginger, 1/2 drop clove and 1 drop Cinnamon Bark)


Instructions:

1. Mix all wet ingredients.


2. Sift all dry ingredients.


3. Refrigerate overnight.


4. Roll in 1/2 Tbsp sized ball. Coat in sugar.


5. Bake on silicone mat for 7 minutes at 325 degrees. (Joel's Nana bakes hers at 350 for 10 minutes- so just know your oven.)


6. Cool on baking rack. Store in an air-tight container. Enjoy the holidays all year-round.


 

Happy Baking,

Lauren
