“These are the best cookies on all fronts - chewy, excellent flavor, good touch of heat from the spices and soooo amazing with chocolate. Mine were much darker than yours from the molasses, but I don't think that affected the flavor at all, on the contrary they” — a cook, 5.0★
“Hi! I made these this morning after letting the dough chill overnight, and while they were delicious they came out very flat -- where do you think I went wrong? Did I over mix at any point or was the leavening and water not enough? Thank you!” — a cook, 4.0★
