The kitchen smells so good when Mom is baking these yummy cookies, which we like to make with sorghum. They're chewy and tender, with a sugary coating. It's hard to eat just one! -Brenda Beachy Belvidere, Tennessee

I had trouble getting the cookies to spread out in the oven. They ended up being more like balls than cookies.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cookies turned out great. They were a little crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.

I love the way these cookies taste. The molasses gives them a unique flavor that's both sweet and tangy.
