Back in the old county ther was a colony of moles living in the hill country just east of Riverside. Each Spring the momma mole would assert her right to be the first to smell the fresh air of spring. One year after a long cold winter she poped her head out to smell the fresh air of Spring and it smelled so wonderful. Then Poppa mole squeezed up next to her to get a breath of the fresh air. He said wow, that smells so wonderful. Down below baby mole said what's going on up there. And he climbed up to get a breath of the spring air, but the just wasn't any room for him to get past momma mile and Pappa mole. He said I don't know what you smell up there, all I smell is mole asses down here. Tha is why every spring we make Mole Asses Cookies.

molasses
No, molasses is a thick syrup that is a by-product from processing sugar from sugar beets or sugarcane. Maple syrup is made from the sap of maple trees that has been boiled down. Both are quite tasty :-)
You can use honey, maple syrup, or dark corn syrup as substitutes for molasses in cookies.
Dark molasses cookies can be found on Mackinac Island in upper Michigan :)
A good substitute for molasses in cookies to achieve a similar flavor profile is dark corn syrup or maple syrup.
Yes they are, but not too spicy, it really depends on the molasses you use in your recipe. Mild molasses is sweet and not too spicy, that is the kind I recommend :D
Well, honey, gingerbread cookies are made of flour, butter, brown sugar, molasses, ginger, cinnamon, and other spices. Some folks like to get fancy and add a pinch of cloves or nutmeg for extra flavor. Just remember, the key ingredient is love...and maybe a sprinkle of sass.
