I worked at the Rogers Memorial Library for a few years. I organized a cookie swap at christmas and someone brought these. Loved them. Never had a soft molasses cookie.
During our morning walk Mei was talking about cookies and Gabe said he remembered molasses cookies he had when he was a kid. I remembered this recipe and whipped it up.
The Silver Palate had a store in Bridgehampton ( back home). In their cookbooks they said that this cookie was a all time favorite. We never shopped at the Silver Palate- VERY expensive but it's always easy to follow a recipe and make my own.
These cookies look very good. Not making cookies this year, but still like to read the recipes. We don't have our baking day anymore due to the kids being older and having so many activities. We are sad, but we have the memories and pictures to cherish. I read the story of the Silver Palate. What an interesting story, and the recipes sound so good. Thanks for sharing. I am passing some of these recipes on to the kids, they still have their baking day when the time allows.
ReplyDeleteThese are SO good. Gabe said they tasted just like his grandma use to make. That was a huge compliment cause his Grandma was a fantastic cook
