Molasses Cookies

   Last night was cool, rainy and relaxing.  Such a nice break from the heat.  We opened the windows and enjoyed the sounds of the storm during dinner.  The thunder roared, the rain pounded and we all decompressed and prepared for the upcoming weekend.  Later in the evening, Katie and I decided to make cookies.  We got the recipe from Michele at michelestreasures.blogspot.com.  They are spicy and delicious- crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.   
Treat yourself and enjoy!
