These cookies are way too sweet for my taste. I'll have to reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies didn't crackle. They're still good, but they're not as pretty as the ones in the picture.

I accidentally doubled the amount of molasses in the recipe, and the cookies turned out really dark. But they still tasted great!

I'm not usually a fan of molasses cookies, but these are really good. The molasses flavor is subtle and not overpowering.
