But if your cookies are turning out too hard, maybe you could try turning your oven temperature down some and maybe bake the cookies for a shorter time.

I guess I don't run into that spreading issue because I always use butter for all cookies, so I just automatically adjust for it. I can see where there could be issues going back and forth.Jean | DelightfulRepast.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02038772991628796917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131812739348646014.post-62159826232815934002012-03-16T08:39:31.921-07:002012-03-16T08:39:31.921-07:00And these definitely sound delicious!

And, as you know butter IS better - but sometimes my cookies spread out too much with it.<br />Lionel says hi. He is such a sweetie.

If I bake this recipe a little less than my own preference, I get the texture you recall so fondly. If I bake it a bit longer, I can get the crispness that some people prefer. I'm somewhere in the middle--my vote goes to Jean | DelightfulRepast.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02038772991628796917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131812739348646014.post-77644587073225814072012-03-16T07:20:29.469-07:002012-03-16T07:20:29.469-07:00You had me until you drowned that delectable mello...You had me until you drowned that delectable mellow molasses sponge in tea. My tongue curdled, I gasped for air, and my esophageal valve slammed shut so fast I could hear the boom. Sort of like taking a cold shower in the middle of you know what. So, tea and crumpets have invaded the realm of black-strap molasses, eh? No, thank you. I'll stick to moo juice. A proper molasses cookie, BTWThomas "Sully" Sullivanhttp://www.thomassullivanauthor.comnoreply@blogger.com
