Sugar-Topped Molasses Spice Cookies... How can someone say those words and not think that Christmas is just around the corner? How can someone smell the slightly spicy, molasses scented batter and not feel like taking the Christmas decorations out of storage right this minute? I tell ya, I almost did!
These cookies really do smell like Christmas and they are perfect in every way. Just the right amount of spices, just sweet enough and crunchy like a ginger snap. Per-fect. The only thing I did differently is make twice the cookies specified because I like the smaller, crunchier cookies.
Thank you Pamela of Cookies with Boys for choosing this as one of the November recipes for Tuesdays with Dorie. This will also be my last Tuesdays with Dorie recipe, for a while anyways. I have so many cookbooks and magazines I want to bake recipes from and with all the weekly recipes, it's just too many desserts. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, there is such a thing as too much dessert!!! It was so much fun being part of such a great group of baking enthusiasts, I most certainly will miss it. But I'll keep visiting the members' blogs and hope my Tuesdays with Dorie friends will keep visiting me too. I just need a little more time to be creative, and bake what I feel like, when I feel like it. The Holidays are just around the corner, I'll be baking up a storm pretty soon, so stay tuned!

Just beautiful! Love the stack of cookies!
I plan to make these tomorrow since the kids have no school. =)
Look at that perfect stack of cookies! Gorgeous! I made these this week too and LOVED them :)
I am excited to make these, and even more after seeing your great photos!
Hello, these cookies are really good and your blog is fantastic, congratulations
Those look SO GOOD! Wish mine turned out more like yours. (posting them next week)
I know what you mean about having too many things you want to bake. Your cookies look wonderful.
So beautiful! I love how you can see the texture.
Beautiful cookies, they look just perfect! I can't wait to make them for next Tuesday!
Your cookies look great. I baked many smaller ones too.
Your cookies came out beautifully! It's sad to see you leave TWD but I look forward to what else you bake/cook up
Mmm, they look great! Too bad you're leaving...we'll miss you! These cookies are a great "last recipe" though!

Cookies look great all stacked up.
I am sorry to see you leave TWD for awhile. I will miss your entries. But look forward to seeing what you will be doing.
Did you say Christmas? So now I have to bake them! :-))))
Just looking at them makes me wanna take down the Christmas decor! I finally broke down and started listening to Christmas music today... couldn't wait! ;P
These look great ! I must think of a gluten-free alternative for these.
Those square cookies look familiar. Made those a few times! November is beginning to feel like a practice session for Christmas. Glad you enjoyed these cookies!
Regards,
they are perfect--and so uniform! we'll miss you in TWD (but i hear what you're saying...there's never anytime to make something chosen by you!).
Beautiful stack of cookies!
I totally relate to your reasons for leaving TWD. I love baking what I want, when I want. We're kindred rebels. :-)
These are beautiful, perfect cookies! I have your blog in my reader so I'll be back even without TWD! - mary
Those are gorgeous -- they look just like Spice Wafers. We'll miss you at TWD --I haven't been baking since the beginning of October, but I'm back now. I like your idea of cooking other parts of the meal, but I'm noticed that I never blog about what I cook unless there's a group deadline.
YUM!!

Perfect cookies, soooo even in shape! And also, they might be wonderful! But I loved the brownie down here, OMG!
