Spiced Molasses Sandwich Cookies
I have a new favorite cookie… Spiced Molasses Sandwich Cookies! Trust me… you will LOVE them! The perfect blend The cookie itself is quite sweet, especially with the course sugar, but the pumpkin-butter buttercream is the perfect balance. It is just a little sweet with a good bit of spice making each bite the perfect balance. If you are planning on just eating the cookies and not making them into sandwich cookies you could leave off the sugar until right when you bring them out of the oven. That way the sugar is just on the top and not on all sides. Sugar options When I roll cookies in…

A side dish can truly make or break a meal…but this quick Bacon Brussels Sprouts dish will make any meal AMAZING! Super Easy The beauty of this side is with a few simple ingredients and one pan you can create a side that everyone is sure to love…even those that are not big brussels sprouts fans.
