It's Christmas cookie time!
Of these four cookie types, which three would you prefer to get in a gift box? (This post does not constitute a promise of such. They're for neighbors. So there.)
* Soft gingerbread-molasses cookies (not gingersnaps, nor gingerbread men, nor building materials)
* Chocolate toll-house cookies with 60%-chocolate chips and walnuts
* Lemon sugar cookies
* Oatmeal cookies with pecans and dried tart cherries
I made the gingerbread cookies tonight, and I gotta say they're excellent! I used the standard toll-house cookie recipe, but modified it to include blackstrap molasses, lots of cinnamon, and lots of ginger. They're crisp around the edges, soft and chewy in the middle, and as richly flavored as the strongest gingersnaps I've ever eaten. Yum!
