This recipe originated at a blog that no longer exists. But I thank Tammy of Tammy's Recipes for this tasty cookie.

Her instructions in their entirety follow. I will add my personal notes at the bottom of the post.

Tammy's Review:

These cookies are soft, almost cake-y, and very tasty! I like mine with chocolate chips. ;) They're good without any of the optional ingredients, also. This is a great, easy healthy cookie recipe! These don't last long at our house. :D My rating: 10/10

Rebecca's notes:

My favorite way to make these cookies is with all fresh ground whole wheat flour and honey in place of the molasses. But they are also delicious with all einkorn flour and including the molasses. We never include the optional add-ins, but feel free to experiment. Enjoy!
