Molasses Sandwich Cookies

I have never tried Molasses cookies so I decided to make some. I found this recipe on the Martha Stewart website. After I made the cookies I remembered I had a can of chocolate frosting in the fridge and at our house chocolate goes with everything. So I put some frosting on a cookie and sandwiched it with another cookies and took a big bite. All I can say is YUMMO!!!

Ingredients:

• 2 Cups of Flour
• 1 1/2 Teaspoon of Baking soda
• 1 Teaspoon of Cinnamon
• 1/2 Teaspoon of Nutmeg
• 1/2 Teaspoon of Salt
• 1 1/2 Cups of Sugar
• 1 1/2 Sticks of Butter, Softened
• 1 Large Egg
• 1/4 Cup of Molasses
• 1 can of Chocolate frosting

In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.

In mixing bowl add Butter and 1 cup of sugar. Set aside the 1/2 cup of sugar to use later. Mix butter and sugar until well combined.

Mix in egg and the molasses until well combined.

On low speed gradually add flour mixture, just until the dough forms. At this point I covered the dough and put it the fridge over night so the dough is easier to handle.

Preheat oven 350 degrees. Place the 1/2 cup of sugar in a shallow bowl. 

Remove dough from fridge. With asmall ice cream scoop form a ball. Drop the dough in sugar and coat completely.

Place dough on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake one cookie sheet at a time for 10-15 minutes.

Remove cookies from oven and leave them on the cookie sheet for about 1 minute then place them on a cooling rack to cool completely.

Once cookies have cooled completely spread frosting on the bottom of the cookie and sandwich it with another cookie.

Enjoy!!

M&M Cookies

These cookies are crispy on the edges and chewy in middle not to mention huge. I think these might be my new guilty pleasure. I found this recipe on the Joy Of Baking website. I doubled the recipe so I would have enough for the guys at the hubby's job and some to keep in our cookie jar. This is the recipe doubled.

Ingredients:

• 4 Cups of All purpose flour
• 2 1/2 Teaspoons of Baking soda
• 1/2 Teaspoon of Salt
• 3 Sticks of Butter, Room temperature
• 1 1/3 Cups of white sugar
• 1 1/3 Cups of packed Brown sugar
• 2 Whole Eggs
• 2 Egg Yolks
• 3 Teaspoons of Vanilla Extract
• 2 Cups Of M&M candies

In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking soda and salt.

In your mixing bowl beat butter and sugars until fluffy.

Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add whole eggs and egg yolks. Mix until well blended. Add in vanilla extract.

Gradually add flour mixture and mix until dough forms.

With a large ice cream scoop, scoop dough on to a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Only place six cookies on each cookie sheet. Wet your fingers and gently flatten the dough. Add M&M's to the top of the cookies lightly pressing them down on to cookie dough.

Bake cookies for 15-17 minutes making sure you rotate cookie sheet halfway through. Remove cookies from oven and let them cool on baking sheet for about 2 minutes. Remove cookies from baking sheet on to a cooling rack and let them cool completely.

Enjoy!!
