Chockablock Cookies (TWD)

This week's Tuesdays with Dorie (TWD) recipe was chosen by Mary of Popsicles and Sandy Feet: Chockablock Cookies. They're chocolate cookies sweetened with molasses, then chock full of chocolate chips, nuts, oats, and dried fruit!

I have to say that I wish I had seen the comments from the other bakers before I made these because I'm not really a big fan of shortening. Apparently a lot of bakers just used butter in place of the shortening without any problems. I would have preferred to have done that, but of course did not think to.

These cookies were just okay to me. I don't particularly care for chocolate cookies, so I think that was the main reason. The molasses and chocolate combination was just fine in my opinion (there were reservations among the group about this).
