Stroopwafels (pronunciation ) (English translation: syrup waffles) are thin waffles with a syrup filling. They were first made in Gouda in the Netherlands, during the 18th or 19th century.

This recipe is an adaptation from America’s Test Kitchen and it makes for the best molasses spice cookies! These are the kind of cookies that you could sell: perfect flavor, perfect texture, they are quite wonderful. By rolling them into balls and coating them with sugar before cooking, you ensure a perfect round shape and a nice sugary crust.

This is really, truly the *best* sugar cookie recipe on the Internet. Leave it to the Internet Patrol to come up with this classic Christmas treat, online.

"It doesn’t really surprise me that the best Linux distro also has the logo that translates into the best sugar cookie. Let’s face it: Ubuntu is one sweet distro. I apologize now to Canonical Ltd. for unauthorized use of their logo. Let’s hope that in the spirit of Ubuntu, they will be as awesome in their forgiveness as they are in their flavor."
