I'm a huge molassas cookie fan and these are soft and delicious. I replaced the shortening with unsalted butter and used apple cider vinegar. Next time I'm going to use a cookie press for a uniform shape and size.

This is a very traditional, yummy, not-to-sweet favorite. I followed the directions to a 'T'for 1/2 of the batter. The second 1/2, I chilled in the fridge, rolled into balls and pressed down with the bottom of a sugared glass. Just an added touch of sweet & perfectly round. Also, this time of the year, my local ice cream place makes pumpkin ice cream. One scoop with a few of these is delightful.
