I don't know what it is about fall, but all the sudden I feel a constant urge to eat soup and bake things I don't normally bake all year. Molasses Sugar Cookies (soft gingersnaps) seem to be one of the first things I love to make. Next comes the onslaught of everything and anything pumpkin. So, watch out...this is only the beginning!
Kate's Fantastic Gingersnaps (This recipe comes courtesy of a fabulous baker, Ellen. Somehow I inherited a 4 page sheet entitled Ellen's Favorite Dessert Recipes and they have become some of my favorites too. These cookies are super easy and one of my favorites!)
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar, plus extra for rolling
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses
2 t. baking soda
2 cups flour
1/2 t. salt
1 t. ground cinnamon
1 t. ground ginger
1 t. ground cloves
Set the oven to 350. Cream together the butter and 1 cup sugar, and beat in the egg. Stir in the molasses. In a separate bowl, combine the baking soda, flour, salt, and spices. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture. Roll small balls of the dough in sugar, place them on a greased baking sheet, and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Makes about 4 dozen cookies.

That recipe came from the Boston Globe and it's one of THE BEST cookie recipes ever! I'm glad you like them. Happy Fall!!
are you taking all these fabulous pictures of your recipes, because if so, well they're just fabulous.
YUM! I just wished I lived next door to you so I can enjoy them without the baking part of it! I LOVE anything pumpkin, unlike my husband, so I hate to make pumpkin stuff because I eat it all! Again, if only I lived next door to you! :) Happy Fall!
