- Other stuff I don’t have time to list
If anyone feels they would like to help, I could really use a good, easy cookie recipe. I am thinking white chocolate and raspberry, please feel free to send me suggestions / tips. (The last lot I made were a little bit crispy / totally burnt)
Best get cracking…..
I’m wondering if you are superwoman in the guise of a STOP THE TRAFFIK worker!
Thanks for all you do to work to combat trafficking.
Remember fair trade chocolate. Never tried it, but …..

Rocking. Thanks. I am tempted to feed my neice 50 cookies just to see what happens! That’s an aunt’s job right?
although, I am not sure what molasses are…
i think molasses are a type of sugar!
thanks for the clarification. I expereimented and so far the best cookie combo has been banana and chocolate. Yum.
i usually just use 2.5 oz ( i think! ) soft brown and then the same of caster sugar. that’s what my recipe says.
