Move over chocolate chip, there’s a new cookie in town. In collaboration with Chef Nizar Aridi of Hayet Albi Bakery, we're sharing what we believe is the perfect cookie.

We might even claim that it’s a power food, with the inclusion of Egyptian Molasses, a molasses that is pure, full of iron and other minerals and free from the many preservatives and additives that you would find in many molasses in the market.

The best molasses to bake with is the light and unsulphured kind. It imparts a delicate, floral flavor to your baking and it adds a beautiful color to any dough, helping create cookies that come out of the oven a lovely caramel golden color. 

This recipe is great to make and have on hand for after school snacks, lunch box treats and as a quick grab and go bite for parents and children on morning school runs. The molasses, rich in iron, helps give one a boost in the morning. Make these and serve the same day for the best flavor and experience. Otherwise, leftovers can keep in an airtight container for 3 days or so.
