If you know *anything* about me... you'll know I love cookies. All kinds of cookies. I like homemade cookies straight out of the oven and store bought cookies that have been in production for months before coming into my home. (I'm not proud of this...it's just the way it is. Don't judge me.) (Okay.... judge if you want....but at least stick with me.) I love decorated cookies and drop cookies and no-bake cookies. My favorite cookies are the kind that other people make for me, but these molasses cookies might be a close tie.
If someone were to make these cookies for me...we would pretty much be best friends forever. And also we would be throwing our bathroom scales off the balcony together. Because they are that good. And addictive. And good. Did I say that already? Because I don't want this to be confusing. Make these. Eat them. Don't share. Well...unless you want to be my best friend forever and throw stuff off the balcony with me. In that case...I'll be home all night.
