This "Fat Archies" Molasses Cookies recipe is an old school cookie recipe from a very old Canadian recipe book that was given to me. Delish!
I came across this recipe for Fat Archie’s Molasses Cookies in an old Canadian cookbook that was given to me by a family member.
The person that originally published this recipe had no idea where the name Fat Archies came from but indicated that it’s the name that appeared at the top of an old handwritten recipe.
I’m guessing this cookie recipe is more than just some dude named “Fat Archie” who created the recipe. If you happen to know the history or origins of Fat Archie’s Molasses Cookies let me know in the comments below. I would love to know!
