Sometimes it takes some experimentation to get the cookies just right. Back in the spring of 2020 I came across a old recipe bookie that my Primary teacher put together for everyone. We brought in our favourite recipes in from home and she wrote them all out and made a …

@Jeff If I store them on the counter, they're gone in 24 hours. Started squirreling a dozen away in the freezer for me to sneak one or two at teatime. Pop them in the microwave when I want them. You could also use a scooper to portion, set them on a baking tray for 15-20 minutes in the freezer. Once they're hard you can store them in a ziplock bag in the freezer. When you want one, bake them like normal, but add a minute or two. (Or let them defrost for a bit on the counter, then bake.) #food

Ginger Molasses Cookies

These are my favourite cookies. Better than the best chocolate chip that I have made, easy.

@Jeff Yours are puffier than my ginger molasses cookies. The photo shows a side view of a sandwich cookie made with the ginger molasses cookie recipe I use. They're large, chewy cookies and always get good reviews. (The center is a marshmallow buttercream frosting. Delicious! Now I'm craving cookies...)

@SCampbell Thanks for the follow. That's kind of you. I don't often post my recipes, but I'm happy to, if someone asks. I do post a lot about #food. @Jeff
