These, like every other molasses cookie I’ve ever had, are incredibly addictive, and are a family favorite that I don’t make all that often because (I realized as I was making them) the dough isn’t nearly as good to eat raw as chocolate chip cookie dough is. :) Raisin Bar Cookies 3/4 c butter 1 c sugar 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla 1/4 c molasses 3 3/4 c flour 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp ginger 1 c raisins 1 c powdered sugar 2-3…
I revamped my maple apple butter recipe entirely this year and it is Good. A big part of the difference is I was using eating apples, because that’s what I had this time instead of super sour cooking apples, and it takes much less maple and sugar to overcome the sourness with sweet apples.

Allow to cool. Frost as desired. (I usually use chocolate buttercream frosting.) Eat! Makes 16…
Many years ago, presumably before Pop Tarts began to be a thing that occasionally showed up on Irish grocery store shelves, I got the idea into my head that one could, y’know, probably MAKE them. I looked for recipes, but never got around to making them. A couple weekends ago I was making pot pie anyway and thought I should make up an extra batch of pie crust and try ’em. oh my flippin’ stars. I used my basic pie crust recipe and added about a quarter cup of sugar…
