Molasses has a strong flavor, and you may have used too much the first
time you tried it. Try drizzling just a little molasses, 2 tsp. or so,
into your white sugar and blend well. Keep drizzling and blending
until the sugar has turned a light golden brown color. A sugar-
molasses mixture should work fine for your cookie recipe. I've been
doing it this way for years. Good luck!
