Friends, pull up a chair and join me on this Monday morning as I enjoy a good strong cup of tea and a Lassy Mog or two.
Now I’m sure some of you are wondering what a Lassy Mog is…
Okay, you can already tell it is a cookie!
But did you know that the Lassy Mog is one of Atlantic, Canada’s favourite cookies?
It is said to have originated in the Province of Newfoundland.
Lassy comes from the word molasses and Mog means a small cake.
And the end result of this recipe is a nice soft cookie.
The Lassy Mog is packed full of delicious ingredients like dates, raisins, and pecans.
This is a recipe that I found, just in case I have tempted you enough for you to want to try your hand at baking a batch yourself!
I feel certain the Lassy Mog cookies will not be unheard of by my blogger friends Pamela, Faye, and Vee.
All three of these blogger ladies live on or very near the East Coast.
They are new to me and I’m just so glad I found the recipe. I think they’re going to become a favourite with my MIL too.
Try it, you'll like it!
I’m now off to party here today:

These sound delightful. My dear husband would have liked these. He loved a soft molasses cookie. I think I will make a batch of them for myself and to share with others. I love the name of these, very quaint.

ReplyDeleteLOVE the name of these cookies, and the etymological explanation behind it! You've set a very cozy tea, Kimberly, perfect for our very damp and rainy grey day!

I must say that I have not had a Lassy Mog cookie! Being a proud Maritimer and Newfoundland being part of our Atlantic provinces, I am sure they are a favourite in many, many homes. I would certainly enjoy a visit with you, a couple of cups of tea and a few Lassy Mogs. :) Maybe I'll have to try these someday. Blessings, Pam
ReplyDeleteSounds delish! Love that photo of the copper teapot!
ReplyDeleteYummy. I know we are going to like these. :-) Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteNo, I have never heard of them! I do know that soft molasses cookies are big in our parts, though. I'll be trying some. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds very good! And I'll have to be on the lookout for them if we find any bakeries in Newfoundland this summer!
ReplyDeleteThe cookies look so good! I'm from Cape Breton, and my mum always made molasses cookies, but she saved the dates and raisins for oatmeal cookies - she'd cut two rounds, pile the dates or raisins on one and then seal the whole thing with the second cookie. It was like a meal but oh so good! I'd love to stop by for a cup of tea and a Lassie Mog with you.
ReplyDeleteLove the name and they sound absolutely delicious.
ReplyDeletep.s. I'm loving your tablecloth and darling dishes. What a perfect teatime combination.
Okay I will be making Lassie Mogs because just reading the ingredients makes me want them, all of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteThey look wonderful. I am sure my kitchen would smell divine.
Playing catch up here...
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of Lassy Mog but umm it sounds delightful. Soft cookies are my favorite.
I missed Lark Rise to Candleford!

Those sound delicious. My father's favorite cookie in the world was a molasses cookie. I will have to take a look at the recipe. Have a good week, Kimberly- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteOh my, these cookies sound really good!
ReplyDeleteHello Kimberly, Oh, these look delicious, Yum :) I really enjoyed your post on The Laundry Sign Project. I've always loved that quote, but I did not know the history behind it.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week and stay warm. You certainly had your share of snow.
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
Oh what a delightful name! I never heard it before but I do love molasses cookie...they are delish!Love your presentation and the beautiful copper tea kettle! Pretty vintage tablecloth! Thanks for sharing the delicious Lassy Mogs with us:) Have a beautiful week! Hugs, Poppy
ReplyDeleteThis recipe brings back memories. My grandmother used to make something similar, but for the life of me I can't remember the name. Your name for these delights is so adorable!
ReplyDeleteThese cookies look good.
ReplyDeleteThey sound like a cookie that was my Dad's favorite when we were kids!
ReplyDeleteEven if I didn't love cookies I would love these. They have the best name ever! I'll give them a try.
ReplyDeleteSending warm wishes across the miles,
Sharon
Thank you. Love love, Andrew. Bye.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see a Canadian recipe! I have studied Cultural aspects of food and aside from French Canadian recipes, Canada is shockingly light in signature foods. There is a reason why Canadian restaurants are in short supply in other countries. And why a craving for Canadian food is rarely felt like Mexican, Italian or Chinese food. Cookies are a great start!
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of these before. But look yummy. Thanks for linking up at share it sunday! Look forward to seeing you link up there again.
ReplyDeleteMmmm! Those sound really good. I love the name, Lassy Mog!
ReplyDeleteYum, I love all those ingredients, these sound delicious! Thank you for sharing the recipe:>)
