New and Improved: Pumpkin Molasses Cookie Dough Balls
It’s not too late to carve pumpkins, is it?
Please say yes.
I’m not a big fan.
Knives. Slippery round buggers. Goo. Lots of goo.
The actual requirement of some form of artistic ability.
I was not blessed in that department. Pea Daddy most definitely was, though I question his knife skills. (Don’t ask about the time when I was eight months pregnant with Gigi and he passed out after barely nicking himself slicing a bagel. I had very low expectations for his support in the delivery room after that.)
But he does much better with goo—more specifically not freaking out about getting goo on the kitchen floor, curtains and sparkly black and pink tutus that naturally need to be worn during carving.
Also unlike me, he doesn’t just go in all willy nilly and start stabbing and slashing. He draws up plans. He’s patient. He even takes requests, to an extent.
Gigi wanted a pumpkin carved of her face. Lulu suggested they look online for a stencil. Her suggestion, “Just go to www.gigi’sfaceonapumpkin.com, Dad!”
Gigi got a cat.
And I got to observe all of this from my very comfortable place in the nice warm kitchen.
Doing what I do best.
Pumpkin Molasses Cookie Dough Balls
*Improved* from our Pumpkin Ginger Snaps
Makes 24 dough balls
- 1 c. whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 c. unbleached organic flour
- 1 T. ginger
- 2 t. baking soda
- 1/2 t. baking powder
- 1 t. cinnamon
- 1/2 t. salt
- 1/3 c. vegan margarine (i.e. Earth Balance)
- 2/3 c. canned pumpkin
- 2/3 c. organic sugar + additional 1/4 c. for rolling
- 1/4 c. molasses
In a medium bowl, combine flour, ginger, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
Using an electric or stand mixer, cream together margarine, pumpkin, 2/3 c. sugar and molasses.
Gradually add flour mixture to wet ingredients, mixing until a dough comes together.
Chill dough for 30 minutes or more. When dough is chilled, preheat oven to 350 degrees and pour remaining sugar into a shallow bowl.
Scoop dough into balls and roll until smooth.
Roll each ball sugar until completely covered.
Transfer dough to a cookie sheet and continue until sheet is filled.
Bake for 8-10 minutes. Cookies should be set, but still a bit doughy.
Allow cookies to cool on the pan for several minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Or plate.
Or just eating.
This is what a molasses cookie should be.
The softer the better. The doughier the better. Plus pumpkin.
A pumpkin I didn’t carve.
With no blood being shed (hence nobody passing out).
No house being gooed.
No willy nilly stabbing and slashing.
Much, much better.
these are going in my “make as soon as i get out of the dorm” folder
Dorms still have kitchens don’t they? I bet you’d be the most popular girl in the dorm!
Mama Pea, what are you doing to me?? I just made your peanut butter chocolate chip cookie balls and more pumpkin protein bars yesterday. Now I want to make these!!
Oh and cute pumpkins!! I wonder who made the puppy dog??
Pea Daddy actually did all the carving (except that sad looking pea one) on everyone’s behalf.
Um…I thought the pea was an alien like the one from Toy Story. I see it now!
I did, too! It totally works either way! These pumpkin balls.. Mmmmmmm. I’m down to my last can of precious pumpkin. I must buy more!
Haha! That’s what I thought it was, too. But I see the pea pod now.
I’m very impressed by the dog and the cat.
I would much rather paint or draw on a pumpkin than carve one. Much cleaner that way
Paint! You are brilliant! We will paint next year.
OMG, it took me a minute for the Pea pumpkin, I think I should go to bed. Cute family of pumpkins! If I had molasses and enough ginger, I would be all over these.
Yeah, I eventually caved and did the Pea pumpkin, and now you know why I should just stick to cookies.
If it makes you feel any better Jessica, I only saw 2 eyes a nose and a bit grin until I read your comment – duh!
Yeah, yeah, my pea pumpkin sucks.
Oh no! That was totally supposed to be a comment on my observation skills not your carving skills
Ha ha, I am not offended in the least. You had so little to work with
Not so much sucks, but I did think it was a 3 eye-d smiley face. Which is pretty creative in it’s own right. You carved a very artistic pumpkin that means something different to each person.
You are such a mom
Sorry, it’s habit. Now go make you bed and do not use that tone of voice with me.
Yum!!! (And I thought I was done making cookies for the week…at least I don’t have to make this one vegan and pray it turns out). Thanks for the post! Great pumpkins, too. My cat didn’t turn out so well…I am not artistic at all. I am good with a knife…but it seems the objects ought not be orbs and the only cut I make is a “Y”.
It’s so hard to carve round shapes into pumpkins. Our pumpkins were starting to go soft, so I think it was a little easier.
Seriously, Mama?!?! How am I supposed to fall asleep tonight when all I’ll be able to think about are these!
All I can think about is that dress you posted from Anthro! I must have!
def making these asap!
Hope you love ‘em!!!
I love your PEA pumpkin! That P.Daddy…what a keeper!
These look outstanding. My dad would especially love them. See you in a few daaaays!
Can’t wait!!!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who can’t stand pumpkin guts! Blech!
At least you guys have a puppy now!
Yes, but it’s not going to be pretty when he molds and we have to throw him away. I’m already anticipating the meltdown.
These look so yummy. Will be making very soon
I have been making the ‘original’ recipe weekly since September. They are a big hit with the kid’s teachers, my Bible study group and my husbands coworkers. Thanks for earning me praise.
My pleasure! I like these even better and I didn’t think that was possible.
Thos pumpkins are AWESOME! Give my thumbs up to the man of the house. And I do have to admit, you sound a touch like Kate Gosling with your hatred of goo…
Your cookies look amazing. Nice job Mama!
Don’t even get me started on Easter grass…
hahahahahahaha
LOL!! I actually clicked the link to Gigi’s face on a pumpkin. Durr. >.<
The dough balls look delicious! I've eaten so much pumpkin I'm sure I'm turning orange…but I'll never get sick of it
I knew someone would do that. Livewriter just auto-linked it!
Thos pumpkins are AWESOME! Give my thumbs up to the man of the house. And I do have to admit, you sound a touch like Kate Gosling with your hatred of goo…
Your cookies look amazing. Nice job Mama! Only you could improve upon something you have made.
Oh heavens. I can’t wait to make these pumpkin molasses cookie dough balls! They’ve just been added to my to do list for tomorrow. (Not being a peanut butter person, these are perfect for me!).
I’m excited to hear what you think!
I don’t think we’re carving pumpkins this year. It’s just my husband and I, and he seems to think if we do anything to attract fewer trick-or-treaters there will be more candy for him. I’m okay to skip the goo too
PS: I took your pb chocolate chip dough balls and subbed pumpkin for the peanut butter. They were a serious success! They didn’t keep the ball shape as well as the others, but tasted equally as delicious and were a hit at the party we went to!
You could easily add chocolate chips to these too. I like the way you think!
Oh, my god. You are the prayer to my dreams! I have been searching for a good pumpkin ginger cookie and BAM! I cannot WAIT to try these this week…or you could just bring me some to fbfest?!?!?! hahaha…I kid, I kid. Can’t wait to see you though! Let’s chat before, yeah?
I was going to make doughballs for FB, but I hadn’t decided which flavor
Yummy! I’ve made the original dough balls twice now, and while they tasted amazing, they flattened out quite a bit. What am I doing wrong?
Hmm…are you adding almond milk to the batter? Not chilling it long enough?
Yes, I added almond milk to it. I think my peanut butter is too dry so I always need more liquid. Does that mess it up?
Ginger and molasses make my heart soar! If only I could stop being lazy and puree my own pumpkin already.
That’s not lazy…that’s just efficient.
Efficient to not do it? Not really, because that means I’m only efficiently not eating these wonderful creations
P.S. This is related to the fact that Australia doesn’t have canned pumpkin, of course!
Did you run this through a nutrition check? I bet it has a crapton of iron and C in it!!! Awesome, delicious, and vitaminlicious.
I can’t wait to make these! I love your peanut butter dough balls, so I’m sure these are amazing. I do have a question…although not pertaining to this recipe! I’m fairly new to your site (and I LOVE it and am getting your book very soon!) and I usually use agave to sweeten desserts but I noticed that you usually use stevia. So I picked some up from Trader Joe’s tonight and when I got home I noticed that it says “contains milk”
Is there a special type I need to buy?
Get outta here! What kind of stevia did you buy? I’m off to check the labels. But NuNaturals sells a totally 100% pure stevia extract that is fabulous.
Okay, I just checked. The organic stevia extract I buy from Trader Joe’s has a “VEGAN” label on it, so I’m not sure what kind you picked up.
Ginger and molasses are FAVE flavors of mine. These are a hit by me already.
And I notice your cookie scoop. I just got the best plastic cookie scoop ever that has just changed my life. Or my cookie making. I want to make your cookies with my new scoop.
And yes, it’s wayyyyy to late to carve a pumpkin. That’s what I am telling myself too, because although we have one, I’m not actually carving it. Just…admiring it
Happy Halloween!
Oh no you didn’t! How do you keep making the world such a better place? And such an easy place to be veg?you rock my socks, Mama Pea.
As the biggest fan of all things Halloween, I love the idea of these cookies, I love the styling you did for the photos and I love your pumpkins. I just wish I hadn’t already finalized my Halloween night open house menu…
Ooh those look so yummy. And I am not creative in an artistic way at all – as much as I love Halloween it always comes with a certain amount of dread at the idea that I have to somehow put together a costume, and somehow put together a carved pumpkin…yikes. So impossible for me! But I’ll always bake the treats for trick-or-treats
We are drawing on/painting pumpkins tomorrow. Though not because I hate the goo. In fact, I love it. Maybe because I know there are roasted seeds at the end? Needless to say, we are at least cleaning the insides out of the pumpkin. And I can hardly wait
Also. These look incredible, and YOU are brilliant. Seriously. Thank you for being so amazing.
Also. I made a batch of dough balls with some homemade hazelnut butter instead of the PB. DELICIOUS. That’s all.
I can’t pick which comment of those I like best. Oh yes, the “homemade hazelnut butter.” Um, delicious!!!
Mama Pea, these look amazing! I’d be making them now, but we’re completely wiped out of flour. Not sure how that happens, but I’ll be making these yummies tom
I’ve heard all good relationships come from a pairing and complementing of skills. You and Pea Daddy clearly have it all worked out! These dough balls look outstanding and Gigi’s cat pumpkin is rather impressive too. Although I must ask – where is Lulu’s?
It’s the Puppy!
Oops – but of course. I really should have guessed that!
These need to come out of my oven immediately!
Yum! You can never have too many pumpkin recipes – these look delicious! Love the pumpkin carvings, you have a talented bunch of pumpkin carvers in your house.
Oh yes, yes, yes! I am making these today. Thanks for another fantastic looking recipe!
Hope you love ‘em!
I like the three eyed pumpkin. I think it is waiting for a dough ball. Feed me please!
It’s a PEA!
The pumpkins turned out so cute!! Love the one with 3 eyes!
Oh my, these cookies look amazing, Im drooling and have not had breakfast yet!
If I trick or treat at your house, are you giving these cookies out?!
Happy Halloween! xo <3
It’s a PEA
Find me at Foodbuzz and hopefully I’ll have a cookie to give you.
Oh! haha! I see it now, cute Pea Pumpkin!
Yay for Foodbuzz! xo
I’ve attempted to make these before but they definitely did not come out as good as I think they are. It’s me though. I can’t bake to save my life.
It’s a good thing there are not many situations where you WOULD have to bake to save your life…so I think you are safe.
This looks SO good! Happy Halloween!
You too, thanks!
I really really wan to make these today but I have no baking powder and my stand mixer is at the bakery!
What a brilliant Halloween treat! Now, I want them in mah belly.
Happy Halloween!:-)
That’s funny, because I want Reeses peanut butter cups in my belly. But these are good too.
Is the Pea Shoppe (i like that spelling better – it looks festive) taking orders??? I would take a few
These are genius, and adorable.
Thank you! I wish I had time to start a bakery. Maybe in my next life.
I love the three eyed pumpkin. I am not a pumpkin carver either. I am not patient enough.
It’s not a 3-eyed pumpkin…it’s a PEA
(I am responsible for that atrocity)
My mouth is already watering & it’s only after 7 AM! Can’t wait to make these!
oh mama pea, i’m so glad you said pumpkin carving isn’t your thing…i was starting to feel alone in the world! but the cookie baking and eating? that’s something i can get on board with.
These look awesome! My mom’s birthday is this weekend and I think she would love these. I think I’ll bake a couple of batches – one for her and another for me! …yes, I’m one of those gift givers who also has to give herself something. haha
I think these are going to make gifts at Christmas for us too
O YUMMY! I can’t wait to make these! Think I will do a batch at nap today!
What is this “nap” thing you speak of?
OK, this is weird – I just made a batch of the original recipe last night – I forgot they had to chill so am waiting to bake tonight. At first I was sad that I missed out on trying the “improved” recipea from today but in all honesty, I cannot bake a dough ball cookie properly to save my life! So I’ll stick with the original…and I have lots more pumpkin.
(I think I need a video dough ball tutorial…along with a home study kit that includes a sample “properly baked” dough ball – heh!!)
The pumpkins are adorable – LOVE the three eyed one! Groovy!
I love the idea of a video tutorial. I’m on it!
My coworkers are frustrated with my lack of baking last night and are now planning a Whole Foods run at lunch to purchase ingredients.
This recipea alone has converted them to vegan cookies (baby steps…). I pointed out the improved recipea but they are suspicious…ha ha ha!!!
Your pumpkins look brilliant! My roommates and I had a pumpkin carving party this month and even despite my careful planning and tracing on my pumpkin, it still didn’t turn out exactly as I envisioned! I have a feeling I’m a little more skilled at cooking and pumpkin eating than pumpkin carving. The dough balls sound fantastic!!! My mum is coming to visit in a couple of weeks and I think I’ll make a batch for her!
Hope she loves them and that you guys have a great visit!
So wait….are you supposed to be the alien?
I’d say “hardee har har” if I didn’t hat that phrase so much.
Mmmmm I’ve gotta gluten free-a-fy those dough balls!
Still gotta do the carving… One pumpkin and 4 requesters… I wonder how it will turn out…
Prolly not as good as Pea Daddy’s handiwork!
Yeah I learned this year that my knife-wielding skills leave a lot to be desired. I need a Pea Daddy!
Also? COMPLETELY agreed on your take on a molasses cookie – the doughier, the absolute better. And the pumpkin addition? I’m sold.
Then you’ll love these!
I’ve been craving molasses ginger cookies. How did you know?
Looks like now I have no excuse not to make some!
Love your pumpkins! I’m not a fan of carving them either. These cookies though…….. Mmmmmm….
Funny that I actually clicked on the “gig’sfaceonapumkin” link. Nothing there. Ha!
The carved pumpkins look great and the cookied pumpkins look even better! I’m not sure if ANYTHING can beat your peanut butter chocolate chip dough balls, but I am more than happy to try these
I hope you do try them and let me know what you think!
I am horrible at the whole pumpkin thing, this year we are doing something easy. Taking a drill and drilling holes into it, the light will still shine through, I’ll get my seeds and no one will get sliced and diced
I hope you take pictures, because I want to see that!
I will! I have an image in my head of how I think they will turn out, hopefully it works!!!
The bad part about this recipe is that I have everything in my pantry to make them, the next bad thing is that if I make them I know I’ll eat them. Probably all of them. Looks amazing, I think I’ll save this recipe for Thanksgiving and go take a look at your pea-lightful recipes
Happy Halloween!!
Happy Halloween to you too!
I can only come to the conclusion that you hate me by posting this recipe, knowing full well I’m trying to lose baby weight and my favorite cookies are soft squishy ginger/molasses cookies.
Hey, it’s Halloween. One soft, squishy ginger molasses cookie won’t kill you
And I seem to remember you sending me multiple boxes of girl scout cookies 
I hate carving pumpkins. I remember when I was little we used to always carve them and then my dad would clean our hands with this really disgusting soap. It was this thick orange goo–I swear it was the same thing they use to clean up vomit in schools. Not very pleasant pumpkin-carving-memories, lol.
Oh I think pumpkin and molasses are a perfect combo, I can’t wait to try these out.
Pea Daddies pumpkins are fantastic (I particularly like the 3 eyes pumpkin). My husband and I don’t do pumpkin carving merely because we suck at it. Better that we leave that to others with more talent.
It’s a PEA!!!! (I did it)
Ooh I am very sorry. I, by mistake, took the pea pod for a smile. I promise (cross my heart) to be more observant in the future.
What a fantastic Pea it is.
I want to make these now! I love any way to use up some open pumpkin
So I have two options. I can either not make these and hate you for torturing me with temptation. Or I can make them and swear you my undying pudgy love. But #1 isn’t really an option.
I’ll be waiting for your undying *beautiful* love.
so cute. Who did the three-eyed pumpkin? Also… I wouldn’t be able to stop eating those treats!!!
oh I see it’s a pea, not three-eyed, heheh. But that would be great for Halloween!
IT’S A PEA POD, PEOPLE!!!!
1. Thank you
2. Let me guess who wanted the doggie pumpkin?
3. Did I say thank you?
Happy Halloween!
1. You’re welcome
2. You’re smart
3. You’re welcome
Happy Halloween to you too!
totally taking these to the Harvest party Saturday night (where weirdly enough there will be people you know…) and getting more Pea converts. they look delicious! and I completely understand the pumpkin guts thing, we didn’t even carve this year, I couldn’t bring myself to undertake it
I hope you enjoy the cookies and the Harvest Party! Have fun trick-or-treating tonight!
Pumpkin carving is my favorite! I still want to do it, I didn’t get to this year. Perhaps I’ll drown my sorrows with these cookies? Better yet, I’ll drown the sorrows of my professor when I deliver a bit of bad news this week. Thanks!
just made these!! oh my word they are delicious! love your dough balls! <– ha, ha. awkward?
Oh good! I’m so glad you made them already and that they turned out well!
I saw the title of this post and literally said aloud, “…Oh my god.” In my office, that’s fine. Can’t wait to try, thanks for sharing!
These look so good. I was looking for one recipe for my kid’s school. I made the simplest one but I wanted something like this… I will try this by weekend. What if I skip shortening? Anything else I can add?
I bought bottle of molasses so looking for ways to use it.
Look forward to more cookies recopies
I use the Earth Balance and they keep their shape very well. You could try coconut oil but a) it might change the flavor and b) they wouldn’t likely keep their ball shape. Good luck!
Ahh…so the purpose of shortening is to retain round shape. Thank you so much for confirming this because I see so many vegan recipe with this ingredient but I do not know the purpose or substitute for this.
Thanks
I just made these, they are GREAT! They remind me of my mom’s ginger snaps (thanks to the molasses and ginger), which is a good thing. Thanks Mama Pea.
I’m so happy you like them!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
You too!
Oh yummy! I am going to try making these tonight.
I love the word “goo” so much. We didn’t carve pumpkins.. because of the goo.. and because I freaking have mice in my kitchen. That’s a little time consuming (and disturbing) to clean up. I bought some rubber gloves last night, though, wish me luck. This has nothing to do with your cookies so far, so how about I change the subject? They look amazing! And I have everything I need to make them. I might have to lace them with mouse poison and put them out tonight… oh, crap, looks like we are back on the mouse subject. Sorry. I am just going to go now…
p.s. have you tried Holly’s vegan molasses pumpkin cookies? You should! They are so good, I’ve been making them for 3 falls in a row now.
Love you!
I have not tried Holly’s! I had no idea such a thing existed…I am going to have to taste test, I think
Good luck with those mice!
I saw the title of this post and gasped out loud. Seeing as how Holly’s molasses pumpkin cookies are one of my favorites, I’m only assuming I will love these, too!
I clicked that link too LOL! Gigi NEEDS her own website! And Lulu
I just made these, and checked out the nutritional stats via nutrimirror.com.
My batch made 26 cookies, and I used butter.

Oh, and I used wheat pastry flour and white wheat flour.
THANK YOU again!
Thank you! Did they stay in dough balls with the butter or did they spread?
There was the slightest bit of spreading, along with the crackle you would see on a traditional gingersnap, but still oh so moist and doughy!
Good to know–thanks!
LOVE! Anything pumpkin is amazing….but in dough ball form!?!?! INCREDIBLE!!
we did no pumpklin carving this year. not sure why just never really got around to it.
haha
love your families carved look amazing! love the cat!!
and love those new dough balls YUM
we have been wanting to make something ginger and molasses for a few days, looks like you had those flavors on your mind as well
Happy Halloween Pea Family!!! HUGS
These look yummy! You need to write a book just about dough balls
I can’t wait to make these. Thanks for sharing : )
Are these more so cookies or like your famous cookie dough balls?
Oh and i have zero pumpkin carving kills, and the mess maxes me anxious. I like painting them =)
I know this may be semi rude to ask (maybe) but ive been reading your blog from the begining and find you to be so inspirational. I recently caught the blogging bug and started my own. Except… i have no readers. Id feel honored if you would maybe give my lil blog a shot out on one of your posts? If not i understand, but it never hearts to ask right??
I made these yesterday! They are delicious! However I followed the recipe exactly and they spread into puffy but flat cookies. I’ve made the pb dough balls before and they stayed balls. Whats the secret to the ball shape?
Hmm…I don’t know! Mine stayed nicely put and that’s the exact recipe. Maybe elevation plays a factor?
OMG! I made these cookies last night and they were amazing!!!!!!!
Wonderful! I’m so glad!
I am dying over your pea pod pumpkin in all it’s three eyed glory.
See you in a few days!!!!
*Swoon* and let’s eat cookies! I lurrrrrve molasses crinkles almost as much as I love pumpkin bars, muffins and pie. I am dying to try this cookie. Tonight.
Um, yeh, didn’t think cookie dough balls could get any better. I love them. My kids love them. I cannot wait to make these. Unfortunately, I am TDY until 30 Jan. and will have to. No kitchen where I am at. BOO!
I’m all about the balls – especially dough balls.
And, like everyone else in blog world I am obsessed with pumpkin right now. So basically I need to make these asap.
Are you coming to Foodbuzz? I’m bringing my balls.
Unfortunately, I won’t be there this year. Huge jass bummer. :/ But have a great time!
and here’s a bonus!
When you are making pumpkin dough balls at 7am, because that’s completely normal, ahem, and you go outside to start the car, to take your child to school… the battery is dead. So you lug out the charger-battery thingy, let it charge, while standing out side freezing to death, get the car started, call child outside to GET IN THE CAR, drive him to school, and on your way home SMACK your forehead because you are just NOW remembering that dough balls are in the oven. When you get home to take them out, they are just like REGULAR molasses cookies, you know, the kind that crack your teeth when you eat them. Nothing a cup of coffee can’t fix. It’s like Pumpkin Molasses Biscotti cookies.
Thanks for the great recipe!
Oh no!!! I think you need to try again…on a day where you are snowed in maybe?
Those cookies look fantastic! I’m hungry just thinking about them!
just made these.. they are AMAZING. i subbed 1/3 cup almond meal for some of the flour and they are soft and delicious… wow
I just made these with a few substitutions – gluten free flour, 1/3 cup of molasses, and sweet potato instead of pumpkin – I thought I bought a can at the store yesterday JUST for these cookies, but I must’ve left it on the shelf
They turned out great regardless! And perfect timing – I was just looking for recipes with molasses 
Thanks!
As usual, another delicious recipea! I brought them into work today, and they are flying off my desk!
As a few other readers mentioned, I have major issues keeping my dough balls in ball form. I made the PB Choc Chip, and those stayed true to form. But these and the sugar cookie dough balls both fell completely flat. They still taste fabulous, but I can’t figure out where I am going wrong! I even let the dough chill for several hours before cooking. My oven is electric – perhaps that is the problem?
Are you using the Earth Balance? I’m wondering if altitude is coming into play because my balls are super round and perky! My oven is electric too.
Yes, I am using Earth Balance. I use the original natural buttery spread, which based on your pictures is the same kind you use. I am in Chicago, and we have a serious lack of altitude, so that could definitely be the problem. Regardless of shape, they are still delicious! Thanks for another holiday staple!
Well, you’ll just have to move here, then.
These look amazing and I cannot wait to try this reci*pea! Perhaps tonight? I have some pumpkin in my fridge just begging to be made into something delicious!
Oooh…do it!
I made a batch of these last night to bring into the office today. People are RAVING about them!
Yay!
Mine came out so flat! I’m thinking it’s the butter (not Earth Balance) and my gas oven and its inconsistencies. I haven’t completely come over to the vegan side yet… but they still tasted delicious and were a hit at the party I brought them too… super bummed there weren’t any for me to take home!
Yup, butter melts!
I just had a batch come out of the oven. These are delicious. I try lots of vegan baking recipes and they always turn out so/so but these taste SOOOO good! Second recipe I’ve made from your blog and another A+. Youre my new fav.
Thank you, Molly. I’m so glad! Enjoy and happy Thanksgiving!
I wanted to try these and not eat them all, so I ate two (mmmm) and brought the rest to my office. We usually have sweets of some kind there, so treats are nothing new, but these were gone by 11am. One of the biggest hits of the year, and had a coworker ask for the recipe, so hopefully you have a new blog reader now!
Oh gosh, that’s great! Thanks for the awesome feedback!
Oh my gosh!! I starred this entry way back when you posted it and finally got around to making these last night…these are hands down the best cookies I’ve ever tasted! And my co-workers agreed and the whole batch was eaten before 10AM. I can’t believe it has taken me this long to make any of your dough balls but tonight I will be going through and bookmarking each and every dough ball recipe to make in the near future…YUMMO!!
I’m so happy you guys all enjoyed them! Thanks for the awesome feedback.
