Those would be the feisty, spice-laden ginger mollies at Beckmann’s. Moist, dense squares of unspeakably tasty gingerbread, compressed into a 3×3 inch treat able to lift tall buildings in a single bite. Under a dollar. Addictive. Carpe diem.
You’ll find them at the bakery, next door to New Leaf, at 2341 Mission Street on the far, western edge of Santa Cruz.
I think the gingerbread at the River Café is the best I’ve ever had—better than I could have dreamed or prayed for—and have not yet been able to beg Elise into giving me the recipe. She just smiles and says, “No.”
No arguing with that, huh?
(What’s a mollie?)
