Ooh, Kris, I would love to know which ones you tried!

About the Book, let me know how it goes!

Sarah, I wish I knew what they did, but I have to keep investigating! I've never made cookies with shortening. Is vegetable supposed to be better for you than crisco? Uggh. I could even try lard from the market. hee hee

Mmm…these look sooo delicious. As for keeping the chew, I wonder if city bakery uses vegetable shortening? I don’t particularly like vegetable shortening, but I know that subbing half the butter for shortening is a way of getting crisp on the outside and a lasting chew to any cookie. But there may be other ways?

Oh, those look tasty! I tried chewy ginger cookies a couple of weeks ago - maybe these next!

Mathaandme, your grandmother's recipe sounds like the missing link! Could you send me the recipe or perhaps write about it on your blog?? I would love to try them.

Unplanned Cooking, I too am addicted to coffee (drinking a large iced one right now!). Will have to try dipping the cookies:)

Thanks so much everyone!

Peggy, You did a terrific job at making these. Although they may not be exactly the same as the ones from City Bakery, I'll be these are even better. And I agree about Cooks Illustrated. It's nice to follow a recipe that's already been tinkered with a zillion times. I've had lots of luck with the ones I've made, so far!

I love molasses cookies, especially dipped in coffee. That may sound odd but for some reason those flavors go together for me. Or maybe I just drink too much coffee these days, and that's the addict in me talking.

These look good. I grew up on my grandmother's molasses cookies which I think are thinner and softer than these, but I like all variations.
