Sunday whispers, soft and kind,

A gentle pause for heart and mind.

In stillness, dreams begin to grow,

Like rivers finding where to flow.

Chewy Molasses Cookies

Ingredients
3/4 cup butter softened
1 1/4 cups sugar divided
1/4 cup molasses I like blackstrap
1 whole egg
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and one cup sugar until creamy (reserve the ¼ cup sugar for rolling the cookie dough).
Add molasses and the egg and beat until well blended.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Add to molasses mixture and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix; just blend until no more dry flour is visible.
Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes. An hour is best.
Form dough into one-inch balls. Roll each ball in sugar and place two inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 6 to 8 minutes until cookies have just set. Allow them to cool for one minute on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

🌞😌🌻😊SERENE SUNDAY 🌞😌🌻😊
The curtains drawn, the morning slow,With nowhere else you need to go.A quiet room, a steaming cup,No early alarms to wake you up.The week is tucked so far away,A gentle, lazy, sweet today.The art of simply being still,With time to breathe just as you will.So let the worries slowly cease,And sink into this Sunday peace.
