Spelt and Molasses Cookies
These little black numbers are homey in the extreme, feel and taste good and are good for you to boot!
These little healthy numbers remind me of those pfeffernuse cookies you buy in packets at Christmas time...sort of. They are a bit more dense, and totally yummy cold from the fridge with the chocolate all nice and hard. In fact I would go so far as to suggest coating the entire cookie, but that is a bit of a pain...up to you.
The kids will like these. You will like these. Your German/Danish/Dutch grandmother will like these. (Assuming you have one!)
Christmas or no Christmas, enjoy!
