What Are Murder Cookies?
What Do Scotch Cookies Taste Like?
Murder cookies, also known as Scotch cookies, remind me of a classic molasses orgingersnap cookie.
The cookies are flavored with cinnamon, mace, and molasses.
The batch I tried was soft with the perfect amount of chew.
If you love rich, spicy flavors, this is the cookie recipe for you.
How to Make Scotch Cookies
The recipe comes together like other molasses cookies I’ve tried.
They’ve got all the warming spice flavor we want in afall cookie.
We all loved the chewy texture, and surprisingly perfect amount of salt.
It helped balanced the spicy, sweet flavor of the cinnamon.
It reminds me of my grandma’s gingersnap cookies.
I brought the rest home and my two daughters devoured the rest of the bag.
I did manage to snag one, and it was delicious with a cup of hot green tea.
They also freeze really well.
The Reddit reviewers aren’t wrong, these cookies are to die for.
