On-the-Fence Molasses Cookies

This cookbook often gives numerous variations on a single cookie recipe. In this case, there are soft molasses cookies, crisp molasses cookies, and on-the-fence molasses cookies. The texture of these cookies is described as "bendy" - neither crisp nor soft.

While the taste of these cookies is everything you'd expect from a molasses cookie, I can't say they are "bendy". They are crunchy. They don't shatter when you bite them but they do crunch and make crumbs.

They are spicy and delicious and the perfect cookie for a chilly fall evening.
