Story by Tracy Nicholson
Photography by Micah J. Zimmerman "I absolutely love cookies, but they have to be soft. Since I was asked to share a family cookie recipe or one of my favorites, I mixed it up a bit. I love chocolate chip cookies, but there are a million recipes for them. I also really love my Grandma Arlos’ molasses cookies, but I’m a chef, so I went ahead and created an over the top, one of a kind cookie - because it’s not every day that you get your picture taken for a magazine!"
