    I am so excited to see these today! Blackberry thumbprint cookies used to be my all time favorite before I ha I go GF, I have been looking for a good recipie ever since and these look fantastic! I just have one question though, I do not see in the ingredients list where it says how much molasses to add, is this optional? If not how much molasses is needed?

      Oops! Good catch! I pulled this recipe from a packet I use to teach holiday cookies using a base dough to make several types. The molasses line was left in by mistake, but the recipe is updated now. Thanks for catching that and happy baking!
