Joe Frogger's Spiced Molasses Cookies ~ Virtual Cookie Exchange ~ Noreen's Kitchen
Virtual Cookie Exchange Playlist:
Today I am excited to bring you the Noreen's Kitchen 2017 Virtual Cookie Exchange! I have been doing this for a few years and this year I am happy to have 8 other awesome channels joining me in this fun collaboration! I will be sharing a historic recipe called Joe Frogger's. This is a highly spiced molasses cookie that has it's roots in the revolutionary war era and has an amazing story attached to it. I love recipes with a good story. They help us learn and keep us rooted in our culture. These cookies will keep you coming back for more and you will see that they stand the test of time!
I will be joined for this virtual cookie exchange by my YouTube friends, Heather of the Kneady Homesteader channel, Shelby of the Queen's Cabinet Channel, Kimmy from She's In Her Apron, Jennifer from The Family Fudge, Falon from Moss Family TV, Tina and Danny from Phillips FamBam, Jamerril from Jamerril's Large Family Table and last but not least, Sara from Simply Sara Kitchen channel. I am honored beyond measure to have them join me for this fun collaboration!
The cookies I am sharing today are a lot of fun to make, but do take some time. They are an eggless cookie that uses molasses and baking soda as the leavening. They are large, flat and chewy, but moist and flavorful. To me the are the ultimate Christmas cookie and they are steeped in history. I share in the video where they hail from and how they came to be.
These cookies take at least two days. You will make the cookies on one day and roll, cut and bake another. They are flavored with rum but the alcohol bakes out during the cooking, leaving the flavor of rich, rum throughout the cookie. Truly a colonial classic. This reminds me of old fashioned gingerbread that I remember tasting at a historic site when I was a child. Nothing like the cloyingly sweet versions many people love today. The molasses mixed with the baking soda is kitchen alchemy at it's best, making these cookies last long enough for an ocean voyage, but in our case at least a week or two but they won't last that long!
I hope you give these delicious Joe Frogger's, spiced molasses cookies a try! I also hope you will take the time to use the link to visit the playlist I have compiled with all the virtual cookie exchange participants! Let it run, enjoy the ride and then enjoy the recipes in the coming weeks preparing them for friends and family during this festive season!
I hope you try them all and I hope you love them all!
Happy Eating and Happy Holidays!

About Seinfeld:
Seinfeld stars Jerry Seinfeld as a stand-up comedian whose life in New York City is made even more chaotic by his quirky group of friends who join him in wrestling with life's most perplexing, yet often trivial questions. Often described as a show about nothing, Seinfeld mines the humor in life's mundane situations like waiting in line, searching for a lost item, or the trials and tribulations of dating. Co-starring are Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Jerry's ex-girlfriend and current platonic pal, Elaine Benes; Jason Alexander as George Costanza, Jerry's neurotic hard-luck best friend; and Michael Richards as Jerry's eccentric neighbor, Kramer.
