I'm defying all laws.

I made molasses cookies.

And they didn't burn, explode, or dissolve into a pile of crumbs!

I like to pretend I can cook. I really can't.

But I think I may have defied all laws of what is up and down yesterday by making something

that is actually edible.

It was beautiful. They were beautiful. The whole world was beautiful.

And then I ate one. And it was like dancing in the rain. (really? you say.)

I had to have more. It was perfect - warm, sweet - but not too sweet, slightly gooey in the middle,

properly sugared on the outside, and perfectly thick.

{and for all of you who may care - I really don't care if you do or don't, they were healthy!

I was pretty proud of myself. No sugar {sucanat!} and I used self-ground flour.

And they were still amazing! This never happens to me!

Every time I try and make a recipe healthier, they come out way

too chewy or hard or bitter or course.

But these were simply addicting.}
