I’m not a professional chef. I do like to cook, and I think I’m ok at it. I typically do all of our holiday baking, and I LOVE molasses cookies. I was very excited to try this recipe because I am a big fan of Chuck Hughes. But…these turned out horribly for me. They spread like crazy, had no thickness whatsoever, and were just a hot mess. The taste was good, but the texture and appearance of the cookies was terrible. They looked absolutely nothing like the cookies in the picture. I wasted two batches, both bad. Now I’m about to add more flour and try to salvage a few good cookies.
