For this week's episode, we are once again looking, not at an entree, but this time at everyone's favorite part of a meal- the dessert! This recipe is one that I learned early on, and has been a favorite of mine and my friends every time. This is a sweet cookie, but also has a good molasses flavor behind it. And best of all, it's easy and quick to make! So I hope you have a big sweet tooth, because today we are making cookies!
