We love the variety of flavors and textures our swappers bring each month, so we're posting some cookie recipes to help you get inspired. Today, Brette Sember shares a family recipe for Molasses Cookies. Brette is the author of several books, including Cookie: A Love Story, and she's graciously donated a copy of Cookie to one of the winners of our best cookie contest!
