With Chocolate or without you pick.....
I have to say I loved the cookies dipped in chocolate the best. They were so so so so good and melted right in your mouth.
I am no stranger when it comes to Molasses cookies. I have a recipe that I have been using for 14 years now. I have never tried any other recipe but that one for Molasses cookies. I actually got the recipe out of a book I read called Shiloh Autumn. In the book the character, Willa Mae Canfield, makes these cookies quite a bit. They posted the recipe for the readers to try. I did and fell in love. The recipe is similar but has less molasses. I'm not going to lie to you I like my recipe better, but I do like this one too! My kids also preferred my recipe. They said the molasses is much stronger in Dorie's recipe.
Here is the recipe for the cookies...
Soft Molasses Cookies
Ingredients:
3/4 cup shortening( I use butter Crisco sometimes and butter other times )
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
2 tsp baking soda
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp salt
Directions :
Combine shortening, sugar, molasses and egg..beat well.
Combine dry ingredients and add to above mixture.
Chill for 10 min.
Roll in 1 inch balls and roll in sugar.
Bake at 350* for 8-10 min.

They look wonderful! I made these last week and we loved them. I made the cran apple crisp this week, so good!
Thanks for sharing the recipe for your favorite molasses cookies. I have to try them just as soon as I can! The molasses cookies dipped in white chocolate are just beautiful.
Great idea to dip them in white chocolate! I'm not big on molasses flavor, so I bet I'd like your cookie recipe a lot!
We loved these cookies at our house. Yum!
Ooh, ooh, ooh--the white chocolate sounds fab! I'll have to try that. I was surprised last year when I tried chocolate and ginger and liked it, but never thought of white chocolate!
And I'll have to try your recipe, because I thought Dorie's were a little strong on the molasses, too. Great!
These look delicious with the white chocolate! Yummy

Mmm, the white chocolate sounds interesting. I'll bet that was good.
Yes, Dorie's recipe was very molassas-y.
My goodness, they look fantastic with white chocolate. They were quite spicy, so I think the sweet white chocolate would be a wonderful contrast.
I love the white chocolate addition!
What a great idea to dip these in chocolate - YUM! Thanks for sharing your recipe; Dorie's is the first molasses cookie I ever made, and I loved them so much that I'm on a mission to try other molasses cookie recipes! Yours will be next on my list.
These look great. I would have never thought of dipping in white chocolate! I loved these even though I'm not big on molassess. I love that you got the other recipe from a book.
I would love to try the cookies with the white chocolate!
First of all...LOVED the apron post. So great! Now the cookies...I almost dipped some of mine into chocolate, but never did. I'm a procrastinator! These just look wonderful.
Your cookies look fantastic and so pretty with the white chocolate dip - it would make a Christmas plate of cookies extra special! =)
Your cookies melted in your mouth? The Beau said my cookies would be great dipping cookies - dipped in a cup of coffee. Needless to say, the first batch came out extra crunchy! Still love it though!
Love your apron post. I think my mom had one of those patterns.
The white chocolate is so pretty on the cookies. Package them in a tin and you could sell them.
These look so delicious and I love that you dipped them.
This looks like a great cookie to try for the holidays.
dipping them in chocolate is such a great idea! we loved these (although we ate them plain). Happy Thanksgiving!
