Pumpkin Molasses Cookies

October 30, 2012 by Hillary 8 Comments

When I think of Fall, my childhood, and my mother, I think of two things. The first are moist pumpkin muffins that were made by the quadruple dozen and brought to elementary school functions, soccer games, and swim meets. Sometimes they had toasted walnuts, but my brother and I got the most excited when my mom added chocolate chips to the batter. Who would have guessed!? 

And her molasses cookies… they are the second nostalgic baked good I think of when the leaves turn to crimson. I remember my mom telling me that the cookies were healthy because molasses is a good source of iron. She’s one smart cookie! ;) 

This weekend, in the autumn spirit (and perhaps slightly homesick), I made Pumpkin Molasses Cookies (inspired by this recipe). Then, I wrapped them in clear cellophane bags tied with ribbon and festive Fall stickers to be hand-delivered to friends… just as my mother would do.

      Kolby – I am so sorry about this! I do not know what happened with the recipe, as the other recipes on Recipage are showing up just fine. I am looking into the issue…

This rare blue sky day in February is having me da This rare blue sky day in February is having me day dreaming about long, light-filled summer days... they’ll be here soon.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
