Coffee-Glazed Molasses Cookies
I dreamed up these molasses cookies while sipping coffee and watching snow fall. The aroma from the baking cookies reaches all corners of the house. —Faith Ford, Big Lake, Minnesota

Reviews
the cookies were really good BUT way too sugary. Next time I'll not roll them in the sugar before baking. They were way too sweet (can't believe I'm saying that, lol as I love sweet stuff). The icing was good. My hubby liked them too but he also thought there was too much sugar and everybody at work always called him the cookie monster lol. I will definitely make them again only not roll in the sugar.
excellent choice for taking to get togethers. all these ingredients gives the cookies a tastes a lot like pumpkin pi
Oh, my goodness!!!!! These are AWESOME!
These sound like an unusual combination, but they are DELICIOUS! My family raved about this recipe and asks me to make them every Christmas!
