Gluten-free molasses cookie
Gluten-free molasses cookie

We all have childhood cookie favourites and most bring back such fond and vivid memories.

For me, it is molasses cookies. They remind me of my grandma. Her molasses cookies were thin and hard BUT they were covered in the most florescent pink icing and they were my favourite.

What cookies are your childhood favourite?

Now these cookies are not has hard as my grandmas and they do not have pink icing on but the flavour is there and so is my memory.

To add to this cookie I added Maldon sea salt on the cookies before they went into the oven. Have you tried salt on a cookie? Well you should. The salt brings out the sweetness and takes the cookie to the next level.
