Better For You Soft Molasses Cookies
This was adapted from the soft molasses cookie recipe, #63981...i fell in love with that cookie, along with the rest of recipezaar...and since i was eating these weekly i felt like i needed to make them a bit more healthy. the result was awesome - the cookie now stays a little puffier yet still chewy. The wheat flour is a nice addition i used 1/2 regular whole wheat flour and 1/2 pastry whole wheat flour - actually giving it more taste...if anyone can figure out how to cut down the butter - let me know!! hope you like!
