I can't decide if I like Autumn or not. I get taken in by the cooler temperatures, the reds and golds of the changing leaves, and a break on my electric bill. But then there's the spiders. Lots of spiders. And that weird dew/condensation thing happening with your windshield where you have to get the temp just right inside your vehicle to be able to see. I don't like that.
Oh, you know another thing I like about Autumn? The perfect Fall combination of molasses cookies and a hot cup of coffee or tea. I'll suffer through the spiders for that.
Soft Molasses Cookies (from recipezaar)
3/4 cup shortening
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup molasses
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon nutmeg
Cream together shortening and brown sugar. Stir in egg and molasses and mix well. Fold in dry ingredients and stir. Cover and chill till firm (1-2 hours). Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll dough into small balls and roll in white sugar. Place on lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake for 9-10 minutes. Leave on sheet 1 minute until set.

I have not tried these kind of cookies before! They look yummy, I think it might be a cookie for Er to make.
Those look delicious! I love Fall, but I don't notice the spiders as much.
Yummy. I am totally snagging this recipe. Thanks for the share.

hey there - this is a great post...but the picture was small when submitted to TasteSpotting.com...if you have a larger picture, please do resubmit!
I love these cookies too! Made my first batch tonight... one of the best parts of fall!
Thanks for all the comments guys! I was looking for a homemade molasses cookie similar to the Archway brand. And these do not disappoint!
Where are you that you get spiders in the Fall? We get 'em in the Spring-Summer around here.
For the molasses, are you using "blackstrap" molasses?
Nate-n-Annie--In Arkansas you have to look straight ahead while hiking through woods or you'll be covered in spiderwebs! Because October/Halloween is so associated with spiders I just thought the rest of the country experienced it as well:)
I used unsulphured molasses for this recipe.
Mmmmm...mmmmmm...as usual you have me drooling over those delish looking cookies.
None for me, still on my diet. :|
I love when you post new recipes. I've got the autumn cookies, now I just need the cooler weather. Durn Arizona heat.
