Molasses Cookies

For some time now, I have been in a cookie rut.  I have seriously been lacking any sort of cookie creativity.  I make the regular chocolate chip cookie, once in a while snicker-doodles and rarely oatmeal and raisin, since my girls have an aversion to said raisins.  However, yesterday, when I was paging through an October 2005 Cooking Light magazine, they hit me.  Molasses Cookies.  I've never made them before and I had no idea if anyone would eat them.  They looked so inviting, so fall-like, that I simply threw all caution to the wind and made them.

The house smelled great-cinnamon, ginger, cloves and warm molasses cookies.

 Simple to make and the results were great.  Oh yeah, the best part, only 66 calories per cookie.  Yippee!
