I’m all about baking homemade cookies.  In fact, I almost always bake cookies from scratch.  However, the fall is often really busy for our family, and sometimes I really appreciate the ability to throw together a snack to take somewhere in just a few minutes.

Betty Crocker recently released a new cookie mix: Molasses Cookies!  I just made a batch this morning, and they only took about 10 minutes of hands-on time, plus 8 minutes to bake each batch.  I rolled each ball of dough in sugar before baking, and I made my cookies a little larger, so the mix yielded 26 cookies.  These cookies taste exactly like my family’s favorite from-scratch version, which we call Ginger Crinkles.  This mix is such a time saver and no one would be able to tell they’re not from scratch!  I’ll be serving these cookies up at our youth Bible study tonight!

Here is a printable coupon for $.75 off the purchase of one Betty Crocker Molasses Cookie Mix pouch (available at your local grocery store this fall)!
