The day I read the November recipes post I knew I had to make these molasses cookies immediately. And I did!
Thankfully I had all the ingredients in my pantry and kitchen. (Which if you ask me, is a great sign of a go-to cookie recipe!) I adore molasses, for some reason it reminds me of memories where I would watch my mom make various dishes--I can just see her pouring the molasses in her yellow measuring cups. The second memory is that of a elementary school teach who always said to doddling students "{insert name} are you slower than molasses in January?" Good times.
A few things about the specific batch I made:
* I opted for a higher amount of pepper and was so happy!
* I refrigerated these overnight and they were very easy to roll into balls
* Used regular granulated sugar, but I bought raw sugar for the next time I make it!
* My family and coworkers gobbled them up.
Since we are now at the beginning of the Holiday season, Tuesday with Dorie bakers are allowed to post the recipes out of order. The Sugar-Topped Molasses recipe is technically supposed to be posted on October 27, so on that date, make sure to visit Pamela's blog, Cookies with Boys for the recipe.
This week's recipe is Chocolate Caramel Chestnut Cake. Which I will make! I've already purchased all the ingredients. I'm just waiting for the right moment. It's a very involved cake...and I'm still recovering from Adam's bday cake, the Cherry-Fudge Brownie Torte and Halloween! :) I'm hoping to post it next Tuesday!
Anyway, be sure to check out the Tuesdays with Dorie blogroll to see which recipes my fellow bakers tried! Here are the options: Chocolate Caramel Chestnut Cake, Cran-Apple Crisps, Sugar-Topped Molasses Cookies and All-in-One Holiday Bundt Cake! It's going to be a fabulous month!

I plan on making these later today. It's good to hear someone talking up the pepper. I'll try to be brave and add lots.
Haven't made these yet so I'm taking notes. This look very good.
Beautiful cookies.
I made these for today too.
Can't wait to try these. (I made the bundt cake--it's de-lish!)
Thanks for baking along with me. I loved the cookies and next time around I will be sure to up the pepper a little bit. They look perfect.
I am making these next week, but because the hubby doesn't like pepper, I will probably omit it in mine. Wish I could try yours though. :)
