Author Notes
One day, I was all set to make the Molasses Crinkle Cookies found in my great aunt's 1945 edition of The Boston Cooking School Cookbook (side note: the binding on that cookbook is bomb-proof; it's seen hard use for over half-a-century, and it's still in great shape). But after I'd already started, I realized that I was out of molasses. What I did have was corn syrup, so riffing on the Crinkles recipe, I came up with the following Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe. I particularly like to dunk this cookie in orange juice, instead of milk. It's weird but tasty. —doctorbaker
