It was up to the cook to choose which she preferred. One of the little ways recipes were much less specific then. I appreciate their brevity when I just want to get an idea of ingredients and not read a long, overly specific "method".

My favorite big, soft, molasses cookies but I've never ever had them frosted. Love the Marjorie Standish cookbooks! And your version of the cookies is especially cute, Erin!

I love the pink on the darker cookie. Really beautiful and fun. I’ve never had frosted gingerbread type cookies. I love the pink on the darker cookie. Really beautiful and fun.

As someone who decides daily whether calorie counts should go toward a nice glass of wine or a "be-icinged" cookie, I must say that they're fine without the icing as well.

Fresh and warm... oh YUM. I'm sure the frosting would only make them more special. Cute Valentine's cookies!

For some reason I think they should taste like gingerbread. Your cookies look so soft and chewy--and the candy-colored frosting and red sprinkles? Muy bueno. I have never had mollases cookies.
