These cookies. Are the best cookies. Yes, the recipe calls for coconut oil instead of butter. Yes, that looks like a lot of vanilla. Yes, you add molasses to already dark brown sugar. But they are the softest, moistest, most delicious-est cookies.
I have made these SO many times and I have yet to find someone who doesn’t like them.
During the holidays I sometimes add ginger to these and pass them off as gingersnaps.
They stay soft and chewy for DAYS.
Enjoy!
