The kitchen smells so good when Mom is baking these yummy cookies, which we like to make with sorghum. They're chewy and tender, with a sugary coating. It's hard to eat just one! -Brenda Beachy Belvidere, Tennessee

This has been my all-time favorite molasses cookie recipe since it appeared in a 2004 issue of Taste of Home. In fact, it's probably in my top 3 cookies of any kind!!

These cookies were just too hard once they cooled completely...I expected them to be soft, so I probably won't make these again.

I have been using this recipe since I first saw it in Taste of Home. Our family likes enjoys the flavor of molasses so I usually increase it by 2/3 to 3/4 cup without making any other changes. This is the only recipe I will use.

I got this recipe from the Taste of Home magazine a few years ago and loved these cookies! The woman who submitted it was right, they make the house smell absolutely wonderful! I plan on making them this Fall for my get togethers. :)

This recipe first appeared on a small phamphlet in a bag of flour back in 1939. I have such a pamphlet given to me by my mother.
