Soft Clove Sprinkled Molasses Gingerbread
I think the best thing about cookies is once you have the core ingredients you just bunch together something else you like and you can make another cookie which is also a bad thing because it leads me to having about three million ideas I don’t have all the pictures of everything like i did for the other post… I’m still getting used to photographing everything while I’m cooking… It’ll get better… I hope
