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
Can you freeze Coffee-Glazed Molasses Cookies?
Freeze shaped balls of dough on baking sheets until firm. Transfer to airtight containers; return to freezer. To use, roll balls in remaining sugar. Bake and decorate cookies as directed, increasing time by 1-2 minutes.
