So, I was at a Christmas party this past weekend. They had a large desert table. On which I found Oatmeal Raisin cookies. ... Yummy. They were delicious.  Then, I see there's another guy there, mowing down on the Oatmeal Raisin. Turns out, they are his favorite cookie as well. So, I tell my kids "See, I'm not the only one who's favorite cookie is the oatmeal raisin."  My daughter chimes in "Dad, that's Abby's Grandpa... So, yeah, it is an old man cookie!"  Ugh... the truth hurts. 😢

My Mom and now my wife make these for me.  The name doesn't do the cookie justice because they don't have an overwhelming molasses taste, just soft and oh-so-good.. Mom's Molasses cookies Yields: 16 Servings  Ingredients  ·      1 1/2 cups Sugar ·      1 cup Shortening creamed ·      2 Eggs Beat before adding ·      1/2 cup Briar Rabbit Molasses medium or mild molasses ·      3 cups Flour sifted ·      1 1/2 teaspoons Baking soda ·      1 teaspoon Salt ·      1 cup Coconut shredded ·      1 cup Walnuts chopped  Instructions  1.   Blend shortening and sugar 2.   Add egg and molasses; beat well 3.   Sift together flour, soda, and salt gradually add to the creamed mixture, and mix thoroughly. 4.   Add coconut and walnuts and mix well.   Drop by teaspoon about 2" apart on a greased cookie sheet. Bake for about 8 minutes at 375º. Take the cookies out of the oven before they are done.  They will continue cooking out of the oven.  The cookies are better not well done.   You will thank me later!

Absolutely.  I think you'd enjoy the tournament and I know I'd be okay vouching for you character. 

I would take an oatmeal cookie if one was presented, but it is not the one I would go for. Sorry @ChetlovesMer My short list Peanut Butter Cookies Snickerdoodles Molasses Cookies White chocolate macadamia nut cookies (probably the only thing good left at Subway)

I would if I wasn't going to be in Pinehurst during that time. That sounds fun. Keep me posted in the future if the dates do not align with my yearly golf trip. This sounds like a fun time. Thanks for the offer!
