Chocolate Chip Molasses Cookies
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Bake: 10 min./batch
YIELD: 7-1/2 dozen.
This recipe originally came from my grandmother but I have altered it a bit to add my favorite: chocolate chips. They are not a traditional molasses cookie so even people who don't enjoy molasses like these cookies.—Mellowdee Jae Brooks, Moscow, Idaho
