This recipe make some of the most delicious molasses cookies...with a heart felt surprise! Make these for your Valentine to say how much you appreciate them. Enjoy!
In a stand or hand mixer cream together all the ingredients minus the flour & colored sugar. Then, slowly add in the flour until everything is incorporated. The mixture will resemble children's play dough. See image below.
Extract approx. 2 Tbsp. worth of dough and form into a ball using your hands. Dip the dough into the colored sugar and position them 2 inches apart on a non-stick baking sheet. Form the dough spheres into the shape of a heart. It's homemade, so don't worry about it being perfect.
If you prefer the original cookie shape, simply use granulated sugar rather than colored sugar, and leave in circle shape.
