Slabtown Cookies' Molasses Cookies

Tastemaker

Our grandma always told us that a cookie in both hands meant we were doing it right, and that’s just what we find ourselves doing when the Slabtown Molasses Cookies are on the menu at Slabtown Cookies in Traverse City. Inspired by owner and baking magician Katie Otterman’s secret family recipe—passed down by her grandmother, Verla—this seasonal bake kicks up the warming spice ante with notes of ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, and clove and adds an extra textural layer in the form of crunchy turbinado sugar. Tender, crinkly, and delightfully oversized, these autumnal treats go best with a tall glass of milk or a steamy chai. Grab a Molasses Cookie, or a whole host of other scratch-made goodies, at Slabtown Cookies’ self-serve stand (228 Monroe St.). Be sure to follow along online for each day’s rotating menu! slabtowncookies.com
