Frosted Molasses Drops

Did you know drop cookies is the official style of cookie that you drop by the teaspoon or tablespoon onto a baking sheet before baking? This is not to be confused with cut out cookies (which you have to roll out) or slice and bakes (which you usually freeze). These frosted molasses drops are like gingerbread cookies soft-fluffy and delicious cousins that require so much less work. With no need to chill, roll, or slice, these cookies go from dough to oven to stomach in almost no time.

1 stick butter
½ cup dark brown sugar
½ cup robust molasses

1 teaspoon baking soda
