A 5-spice SNAP Cookie and Seasonal Shift

5-spice snap cookie

Christmas in San Diego

It occurs to me now that I am angry. It must be a phase that us grievers go through. It makes sense to be angry having had such a bright light in my life snuffed out; out of my control. Like a ticking time bomb there are days I explode.

Recently, I have noticed I curse more (not very polite). I get a little road rage and I get pissed off over idiotic things. I’ve developed an edge; a very sharp edge. And another #*$&’ing thing, my darling husband agrees! It’s not pretty and there are days I look in the mirror and don’t like what I see.

Now for my 5-spice snap cookie recipe. It’s a twist on an old fashioned molasses cookie. Don’t let the soy sauce scare you as it just gives a bit of a salty element. Slightly crispy on the outside this cookie gets its snappy flavor from Asian 5-spice powder. I make it a habit to add at least one new recipe to my holiday cookie tray. I hope this one fills an empty place on yours.
