\"Spicy<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the other recipe mentioned yesterday in the Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie<\/a> recipe, and quite similar to the same cookie method utilizing the simple creaming of the butter and sugar then adding the egg and molasses and finishing with the dry ingredients. Tiny scoops of these baked for just 12 minutes and before you know it, you have about 50 tiny spicy molasses cookie morsels. There were about 10 more dough balls that baked on a separate sheet pan. You may need two pans to bake all of them simultaneously.<\/p>\n

For those following a Weight Watcher plan they are only 1 point each. Again, Monique found this one in the Weight Watchers Annual Recipes for Success 2003 issue on page 54 in the Desserts section. These cookies were a part of the dessert treats at the hosted jewelry party Monday evening. The original recipe called for baking just 8 minutes but we found this too short a time for our oven, so we extended it another 4 minutes, your baking time may vary as well depending you your oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
