meet the perfect cookie: crisp on the outside, soft in the middle, and oh.so.chewy. you can thank chef anne burrell for this masterpiece – the molasses cookie. simple to make, fast to bake, amazing to eat. 

a few months ago, i watched anne make these cookies on her show, secrets of a restaurant chef. she served them with a coriander chicken dish that i have yet to make, and i literally salivated whilst sitting on my couch. i made the cookies that day, and have since made them multiple times. 

this recipe is a huge crowd pleaser – my coworkers love it, my friends adore it, even the folks at the bar method (where people are long and lithe and appear to never have consumed a single cookie in their entire lives) can’t resist these babies.

make them now, thank me late.r
