Cookies are not my weak spot.  A brownie sundae?   You bet ya!  But cookies have never really been my thing. Unless.. it’s a container of those fluffy, cakey cookies with a perfect circle of frosting with sprinkles that can typically be found in the bakery.  That kind of cookie can be my thing.

I did some super sophisticated Google searching: “fluffy, cakey cookies”, “super fluffy cookies”, “cake-like cookies”.  From there, I found out that my guiltiest cookie pleasure has a brand name, Lofthouse Cookies.  I found a few blogger recipes, like this one from Two Peas & Their Pod, and realized I’m not the only one with an obsession.

I quickly made this recipe my own and modified to be gingerbread-esque, using brown sugar, molasses, freshly grated ginger, and Chinese five spice {my holiday fav}.  And now I can’t stop, won’t stop, taking a cookie with me every time I leave the kitchen!
