Ingredients & Substitutions
Molasses: There are several types of molasses, each with slightly different properties. Generally speaking, molasses is a thick syrup that is often used as a sweetener. It is a byproduct of the sugar-making process, and it comes from crushed sugar cane or sugar beets.
Cloves, Ginger, and Cinnamon: These spices simply scream “holidays” to me! And they each add something special to these simple crinkle cookies.
Brown Sugar: I love what brown sugar does to cookies, especially paired with molasses.
Optional- Sprinkle a little extra confectioners sugar over the cookies after they bake!
