Directions
Soft Molasses Spice Cookies,The description in the Robin Hood Cookbook where this recipe came from was that in 1880 a young man would take his sweetheart to the restaurant and offer her the usual treat: spruce beer and molasses hands – so called because handfulls of cookie dough were put on sheets to bake.,It was hard to figure out how to rate these cookies… My father-in-law couldn’t quit eating them & I won 3rd place in the county fair! However, personally, I thought the molasses overpowered all the spice flavour and didn’t think they were sweet enough.,When I left home at 18 years old,(in 1970) I took the Robin Hood recipe book with me. These were always a favourite, but I got something sweet stuck to the page, making it unreadable, and couldn’t make them any more. So I just found the recipe again, using a search engine, on your site, made them this evening, walking down memory lane and loving those great molasses hands. The very best. Thanks, Robin Hood, thanks food.com.
