Soft Molasses Cookies

I’ve got Hallmark channel Christmas movies on in the background and the holiday cookie baking season has officially begun. (Let’s be real, the Hallmark channel Christmas movies have been on since before Halloween though. 😉 ) If you like gingerbread men cookies but you don’t want to take the time to roll them out, then these cookies are for you.

Kourabiedes – Greek Christmas Butter Cookies (Without Nuts)

Happy Christmas Eve eve! (Yes, that’s a thing, at least in my family.) I made kourabiedes last Christmas, which are a traditional Greek cookie usually served at Christmas time. They are like a shortbread cookie with almonds and covered in confectioners sugar. This year I wanted to make a version of them without nuts for my family members who can’t eat nuts, so that’s what I’m sharing with you today. The recipe requires only 4 ingredients but it can be a little finicky to make. It took me a couple of tries to get the recipe just right. I have …
