Chewy. Spicy. Sweet. Molasses perfection. Soft Molasses Cookies are a yummy antidote to the post-holiday blahs. You can pair them with a glass of milk OR a cup of coffee or tea. In fact, they’re so perfect that you can eat them all by themselves [and I speak from plenty of experience]. These soft and chewy cookies will warm your cookie-eating heart.
Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite “cookie” holidays. This year I decided to decorate my creations in a variety of ways to celebrate the sweet side of love ... and to let my inner Cupid out to express the joy of the day. I chose Brown Butter Cookies as my canvas because the flavor is nutty, complex, and irresistible — a lot like love itself.
A new friend of mine was planning an event to congratulate everyone on her team for a job well-done and she asked me to make gold star cookies to honor them and recognize their efforts. I immediately thought that my shortbread recipe would be the perfect cookie and started planning “Operation Gold Stars.”
