Baked Sunday Mornings - Joe Froggers (Ginger Rum Molasses Cookies)

Hi everyone! I am very excited to join the group and be baking along with the gang at Baked Sunday Mornings - a fun, casual online baking group dedicated to baking our way though the BAKED trilogy by Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito, one recipe at a time.

This weeks offering comes from Baked Explorations.

The recipe was straight forward and simple to put together. My only issue was that my dough was soft, even after 24 hours in the refrigerator. So instead of rolling it out, I used a small ice cream scoop and they came out great! I sprinkled with turbinado sugar since I didn't have sanding sugar handy. These have a seriously intense molasses flavor - a little too much for me. But the people I made them for loved them! Texture was perfect...I underbaked a smidge so they were nice and chewy. Oh, and these smelled SO GOOD while in the oven...a nice wafting of fall eventhough we are still having summer like temps here in Southern California.




Hope everyone has a great week - see you next Sunday! Keep it sweet! :)

    Loved the smell too! Smells like fall to me! (feels like fall here though)

    I'm not a huge molasses fan, either, but my taste testers approved just like yours did! :)

    I agree the molasses is a bit much... Both taste-wise and also why the dough is soft. And it definitely makes it feel like fall! Very pretty cookies!

    I too was not a fan of the intense molasses flavor (though the aroma was wonderful)... luckily I had some little helpers in my house who did not mind the cookies and made short work of them :) Love your profile pic by the way!
