Spiced chocolate cherry snacking cookies
Cookies
Everyone needs a recipe for cookies whose sheer title permits snacking on them. These came about when I adapted an adaptation of a Dorie Greenspan recipe (which one, I no longer remember) to satiate my craving for a molassesey cookie in the middle of spring. Now it's the dead of winter, and my now seasonally-appropriate craving has reappeared. They've got oats in them - doesn't that make them practically health food? Encouraged, I set forth to bake up a batch. This time, I heeded the wise words of A&M, and spiced up my cookies. No regrets, friends. The molasses and chocolate together make for one heady cookie, but the undercurrent of ginger and five spice powder lent a certain sophistication that "snacking cookie" might not otherwise suggest. All the same, I enjoyed them after work with a glass of milk, just as the kiddies do. They were delicious.
