Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    So I was a little surprised that a cookie recipe (esp a molasses one) starts with 3 sticks of butter! But I decided to trust the recipe. The cookies turned out exactly like you'd expect a cookie with 3 sticks of butter to turn out. Flat and greasy, but with really good flavor. I could only eat a bite of a cookie and my 19 yo son (who I made them for) only ate half of one. Not a win for us. Personally, for all that butter I'd rather have a shortbread or something else really indulgent. Molasses cookies should be homier and less rich, something you feel OK eating on any regular day. I have to say the one thing I'd take away from this recipe is the addition of lemon zest, That added a great enhancing note that I will try out in other molasses cookie recipes.
