My mum used to prepare this dish. It always has been my favorite because of its lovely custardy tangy sweetness.

The edges are crispy from the sugar and they are soft in middle. Delicious!!!
I tried this recipe instead of my usual molasses cookie recipe and wasn’t a fan. The amount of molasses is huge and overpowers and other flavor in the cookie
