Better for You - Soft Molasses Cookies image

This was adapted from the Soft Molasses Cookie recipe, #63981...I fell in love with that cookie, along with the rest of recipezaar...and since I was eating these weekly I felt like I needed to make them a bit more healthy. The result was AWESOME - The cookie now stays a little puffier yet still chewy. The wheat flour is a nice addition I used 1/2 regular whole wheat flour and 1/2 pastry whole wheat flour - actually giving it more taste...If anyone can figure out how to cut down the butter - let me know!! Hope you like!

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover molasses. They're also a good option for people who are looking for a healthier cookie. I made them with whole wheat flour and honey instead of sugar, and they turned out great.
