I think I'm gonna make some chocolate chip cookies with fork lines, just to confuse people. Why are the fork lines such an iconic part of peanut butter cookies, anyway?

Stir up. Drop by tablespoons onto cookie sheet and mash with fork tines. Bake at 350 until done.

They end up chewy yet firm, wonderfully balanced between spicy and sweet. I begged my buddies to make 'em again, but before they could they moved to Seattle. Selfish jerks.

Maninas - I think that crystallized ginger would be tasty, we just didn't have any. If I had my druthers, I would have added dark chocolate chunks, but we were out of those! Dana - they were, suprisingly so, and not too sweet, which was a bonus! Mimi - that's pretty funny on the cookies - yes, I will take my unhealthy cookies from time to time. I might even stick with white flour ;-) Jim, I haven’t made those yet, but sounds delicious – I love molasses!

Cookies really aren't meant to be healthy but if you are feeling guilty, you may want to pick up some whole-wheat pastry flour. It is made of soft wheat and finely ground. It's not the same as white flour but you won't be making hockey pucks like when you use regular whole wheat flour for goodies other than bread. Those cookies sound really good!
