Molasses Spice Cookies

Dear Sis,

The kids got used to having cookies about during the holidays. They were particularly fond of gingerbread cookies. Charlotte has been asking for them, but I decided I wanted a drop cookie version with all the same flavors to save me the time of rolling and cutting dough. This recipe is a perfect fit!
