Here's a lighter version of molasses cookies. I like this recipe because it uses buttermilk and has a sweet glaze icing.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and crispy. They didn't look anything like the picture.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

These cookies are delicious, but they are very rich. I would recommend only eating one or two at a time.

I found that the cookies were a bit too soft for my taste. I think I'll try baking them for a few minutes longer next time.
