I made saffron rice (Chrissy's delicious recipe), lentils with whatever the hell I wanted to throw in, pita bread, and Holly's ginger molasses cookies. The rice and lentils turned out fine, and...wait why am I even talking about anything besides the cookies?
See that sparkling? That's magical happiness.
One roommate actually said they're the best ginger cookies he's ever tasted. I heartily concur; these are what all cookies should aspire to be. Thank you, Holly! Ginger cookies are my favorite, but this is the first time I've actually made them.
I doubled the recipe - after growing up with 5 siblings I think I might actually be incapable of NOT doubling a cookie recipe. Or any recipe at all (yeah, I ate a LOT of leftovers in college). I also added a little more ginger and cinnamon because, really, can you ever have too much ginger and cinnamon?
Also, I am convinced these cookies would be phenomenal with s'mores. Obviously I must test that hypothesis - it's scientifically irresponsible not to.
That's my cookie smile.

I never knew you felt so strongly about cookies. I like both of those pictures. Very nice, very nice. See, I have a theory - to take a decent photo you can't only just smile, but you must be happy. The happier - the better. Tyra Banks has bastardized this brilliant idea by referring to it as smiling with ones eyes. "Not like this, like THIS!"
Those cookies look delicious! Were they the chewy or hard kind? I love ginger cookies, but only if they're chewy. Although if they're hard you can dunk them in something like coffee or tea or milk and then then are soft, so.... I guess I just like ginger cookies.
I am so glad you made and liked those cookies! I actually felt silly posting the recipe, because some people disdain anything molasses-y, so I'm really glad they were a hit with you.
And for the record, I got the recipe from someone in my knitting group in Iowa ten years ago. This is why it pays to hang out with crafty people.
Oh my, I must try this recipe immediately.
Your texts the other day cracked me up, thank you.
They should invent the teleportation device already so we could actually visit each other. I could use a cookie night.
Elizabeth - Smile like THIS! And then she does that super creepy stalker face. I heart Tyra. That show is gold.
Charlotte - They're soft and chewy and DELICIOUS! Follow the link for the recipe.
Holly - No one could disdain them after tasting them.
too_intensified - Definitely make them. We can video chat while eating the same cookies on two different coasts. It'll be like MAGIC. Ask for a ticket to WA for your birthday. Blast! Why is your birthday in February? Tell your parents that you want to go to a big Mormon conference in WA. Then email them while you're here and break the news. While eating cookies.
Can you please visit soon and cook all that stuff for me? Please and thank you.
And - and! - I really like that picture of you.
Damn it, I keep forgetting to subscribe to the comments. I'm a lazy commenter.
Becca your cookie smile is SO beautiful!
canihelpyousir - First you want s'mores, and now lentils, rice, pita, and cookies? Anything else, Princess? What am I getting out of this deal? (Hint: "My wit and sparkling personality" is not the correct answer.)
Also, Bellingham or SLC... yeah, I'm going with the option of you visiting ME.
That picture isn't me. It's some girl who works the corner.
Chrissy - :) (That's my online smile. Not as cute, I think).
FIRST OF ALL.
It's Pretty Pretty Princess.
Secondly, I love it when people cook for me. For my end of the deal, I will serenade you with show tunes while I juggle. Or regale you with Stupid Tales From My Life, which are always super entertaining.
If at least one of those tales includes a creepy carnival fortune teller, public nudity, and the phrase, "I promised you WHAT?!" then I AM IN.
I will second the awesomeness of these cookies. I was magically compelled to make them yesterday and they are awesome.
Yeah, they've been totally annihilated here. A double batch, 4 days, GONE.
