Molasses Mummy Cookies

Remember those old Mother’s frosted molasses cookies? That’s what these adorable cookies taste like. My kids love them so much, and they’re so cute and festive.

I love, love, love coconut macaroons.  I love them for many reasons.  One, they are easy and I am lazy.  Two, they have like 4 ingredients.  Three, they are completely delicious, and four, they are gluten free, and I almost never find anything that is gluten free that I also like.
