Molasses cookies - my all-time favorite. This is definitely a must-try since I do love the flavor of ginger. My recipe is a fairly simple one and they come out a nice dark brown. I use Grandma's molasses. Could that possibly resolve the color difference? Another cookie that I find absolutely irresistable is a 'trail' cookie available in some delis in Seattle, WA. They are huge and thick and chewy and takes me a week to eat. They are packed with nuts, oatmeal, cranberries, dates, seeds, maybe orange zest and god knows what else. I have searched high and low for a similar sounding recipe and no cigar. Maybe someday, in one of your conscience-striken healthy moments, I'll run across it here, yeah? GO PJH!!!!
