This is an excellent recipe! I couldn't find my copy of our family recipe for molasses cookies and this one was similar. They turned out beautiful! I made 2 changes, I used 1/2 cup hot water instead of coffee and I rolled the cookie dough in coarse granulated sugar and did not flatten them before baking. Thanks for sharing, I will be making these again!I've cooked/tasted this recipe!
