<\/p>\nBrandon’s favorite cookies are his grandma’s Molasses Cookies.\u00a0 His grandma would make them each year and he loves them.\u00a0 When we got married I tried to get the recipes of things he liked to add to my collection of recipes.\u00a0 A few years ago, Brandon’s mom made me a cookbook for Christmas and gave me a few family recipes – his aunt’s peanut butter cookies, his aunt’s pie crust, his grandma’s banana bread and the molasses cookie recipe.<\/p>\n
I tried the recipe and the cookies tasted good but they got really firm.\u00a0 He told me that it was a family mission to try to keep the cookies soft and they tried various ways of storing them including storing them with apple slices which only led to molasses cookies with a hint of apple flavor.<\/p>\n
I did a little research and decided to try one thing with the recipe to if it would make for a softer cookie and it worked.\u00a0 The recipe I was given called for 2 tsp of baking soda.\u00a0 This recipe doesn’t make a lot of cookies and that seemed like entirely too much baking soda so I cut it back.\u00a0 I made them with less baking soda and\u00a0 it made the cookies softer and even after four days they remain soft.<\/p>\n
