*swoons* Darling, you know I love your poetry. This one seems particularly fitting this new journey we are embarking on. So much anticipation of exploration and the unknown.

Ooo, Katie! That looks tasty. I’ll have to try that recipe too.
It’s amazing how much variation you can get in such a simple food item as cookies!
Thanks for sharing!

Here’s my favorite cookie recipe for a Chewy Molasses Spice Cookie courtesy of the Cooks Illustrated folks. I’ll have to try your version and maybe merge the two!

Preheat oven to 375 F.

Whisk together:
2 1/4 c flour
1/3 c white sugar
1 1/2 tsp each of Cinnamon and Ginger
1/2 tsp each of ground Cloves and salt
1/4 tsp each of Allspice and finely ground Black pepper

Cream together:
1/3 c brown sugar and 12 oz room temp butter
Add and mix 20 seconds, then scrape the bowl:
1 large egg yolk and 1 tsp vamilla
Add and mix 20 seconds, then scrape the bowl:
1/2 cup molasses
Add the flour mix and just incorporate.

Use a Tablespoon measure to portion. Roll into little balls and coat with sugar. Place on a parchment or foil lined tray. Bake for exactly 10 minutes (no more or less). Cool 5 minutes then transfer to a rack. Makes about 40 cookies.
