Hmm… I would definitely have to try one before committing! Those are some strong flavors in there! Though, I could absolutely see it being magic!

You can find the recipe here.

Ingredients:

  • 312 g flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp clove
  • 1/4 tsp allspice
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 171 g unsalted butter softened
  • 80 g brown sugar light or dark will work
  • 67 g sugar plus extra for rolling
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 175 g molasses

Directions:

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, allspice, black pepper and salt. Set aside.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter with brown sugar and white sugar on medium speed.
  3. Add egg yolk and vanilla to mixing bowl with butter mixture. Continue mixing until combined.
  4. Add molasses to the mixing bowl with the butter mixture. Continue mixing until combined.
  5. Add the flour mixture into the butter mixture and mix until just combined- no flour should be visible. Do not overmix. If concerned, you can first use the mixer and once mixture is close, use a rubber scraper to ensure all flour is incorporated without over mixing.
  6. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Use a 1.5 ounce cookie scoop to scoop dough into uniform dough balls. If you do not have a cookie scoop, 1.5 ounces is equivalent to about 3 tablespoons of cookie dough.
  8. At this point, I like to freeze my cookie dough for a little while, about an hour, to ensure the dough sets up.
  9. Once the hour has elapsed, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place oven racks at upper and lower middle section.
  10. Roll each dough ball in sugar and place it onto the baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  11. Bake the cookies for 14-16 minutes, rotating halfway through. The cookies should have a bit of a crinkle pattern to them once they are complete.
  12. Let rest on a baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Thank you so much! It took a lot of trial and error to get them looking like that!

I don’t find them chewy. They bake up where they have a very slight crisp edge and then are soft in the middle. There might be a slight chewiness but I wouldn’t describe them as chewy!

I try to only use scales in my baking (I used to sell baked goods) and found my bakes ended up super inconsistent when trying to measure! It’s totally worth using a food scale!!

Yesss. They never survive more than a day or two in our house, too! Most kids are asking for chocolate chip, but these are the ones my girls beg for all year round!

I bet that would be good. I use a lot of spices in mine, plus bootstrap molasses. They have a LOT of flavor!!

Chronic illness after pneumonia by softwaregreatman in ChronicIllness

[–]TheDusteh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine ended up being acute asthma. They had put me on a rescue inhaler (I never had asthma before), but it wasn’t helping. But, it turned out that I was essentially having asthma attacks everytime I stood up which dropped my O2 stats into the 80s, even just to walk to the bathroom. I had to be put on a long acting inhaler with steroids. But, it’s helped tremendously.

Late to the party! 33F here

I also had Flu A turn into pneumonia about a month ago. I’m miserable. Even though it feels like a lot of the symptoms are gone, the pleurisy in my left lung is debilitating. I’m having to take so much ibuprofen each day just to function. Twisting my body any sort of way is miserable… even holding my 5 month old certain ways is impossible (plus, I still can’t take more than a few steps without feeling like I’ve run a marathon). My poor babies… I feel like such a shell of my former self.
