If you like something a little different with a bit of spice this is the cookie for you. After Angie's day yesterday I feel bad saying I had another easy delightful baking day. This recipe was user friendly and very simple. The only issue I had was no ground cloves, so after a frustrating morning at the Dr. with Cameron I very happily put my whole cloves into a baggie and pounded them to dust with my meat mallet. Very therapeutic. This is a very tasty cookie with the molasses and cloves a very nice combination. Anyone who is paying attention to this blog daily will realize I have "staged" my cookies differently today. I have a wonderful client who has been watching this and informed me I had to something different with my pictures. (Thanks Kathy I hope you like this one better:) I don't think she realizes up until now I barely knew how to upload a picture and then download it. So now I have to say I am not just learning the ins and outs of baking but also computer stuff too. Thanks girls for taking away my "box". Danielle G.

  7. Since you only had whole cloves, you were quite creative to "pound them to dust" with a mallet to use in the recipe rather than run out and buy ground. Very funny and excellent therapy! Theresa G.
