Now THOSE sound good. I bet they're nice and chewy?? I'd add some cinnamon, maybe some other spices, too.

Kinda crispy on the edges and chewy towards the center.

I might try those with a couple substitutions. Maybe throw in some raisins or dates too.

OK, I substituted sorghum for the molasses, cream for the milk, ghee for the shortening, stevia for the sugar,and added raisins and cinnamon. Ok, not the same recipe, but definitely delicious!
