Tried the recipe and the cookies were both crispy and chewy just like the recipe said, however, my family thought the molasses was slightly overpowering in taste even though I had cut back on the 1/4 cup amount to just 2 tablespoons of it.

HI Bridget, wondering if you know if these will work with natural peanut butter
Crosby Molasses
Hi Pam, I haven’t tried them with natural peanut butter so not sure of the consistency. I suspect that the batter would be thinner and they might flatten out more. If I try them with natural PB I might add 2 Tbsp. ground flax.

Hi Bridget,
I am looking for a recipe that was in your last e book it had rice krispies peanut butter I think, molasses, chocolate chips, maybe maple syrup. It also featured the almond flour cookie. Could you help find the bar recipe for me.
I have the cookie which we absolutely loved and I printed it off but not the bar
Thanks so much

haven’t made these yet but wonder if flour is missed.
Crosby Molasses
Hi Barbara, They’re actually flourless cookies. They bake up extra flat, a little chewy and delicious.

No flour needed and I used coconut sugar. They spread a good amount and melt in your mouth. I tossed in sliced almonds, chocolate chips and ginger.
My oven tends to run hot so turned the pan @ 5mins and removed it at another 5.
