    Soft, chewy, sugar coated and kissed with chocolate, Molasses Blossom Cookies are a holiday treat all will enjoy!  It is December 1st, the house is fully decorated, Christmas music is playing on repeat and my kitchen has never been busier.  I am loving this crazy season and I love sharing all these wonderful treats that will make your holiday table so festive!   

    The holidays can definitely be stressful and exhausting, but my goal this year is to take it all in, enjoy the busy and cherish all the time with family and friends.  One of my favorite holiday parties that my sister and I host together is our Annual Cookie Exchange.  We gather our girlfriends together for a fun evening of wine drinking, chatting and sharing our favorite cookie recipe.  I still haven't decided which cookie I will share this year, but  after sharing a month full of cookies with you, I am sure to find my favorite!  

    Lets start with this one, Molasses Blossom Cookies.  Soft, chewy and sugar coated is the perfect combination for a festive cookie.  The flavors are exactly what a molasses cookie should be, but kissed with chocolate to make it extra special.
