It's fun picking new recipes to try with the lad. Today it was Chewy Spice Cookies. Mom? Will I like these?
I don't know lad, probably, you like gingerbread cookies right?
Yeah...
Well they have molasses in them too, so you just might like them.

Hubby and the lad both give these a resounding YES! We should make them again. :) We also gave some to the library staff and the dentist staff as well. They seemed to appreciate them as well. :)
One of the things I'm starting to do with my lad when we bake is having him smell the spices. Often you can identify spices if you train yourself to know what they smell like. He does NOT like the smell of cloves or ginger but cinnamon makes him go mmmm. :)
