Grandma’s Molasses Cookies Recipe

May 29th, 2008 at 04:29pm Under Spice and Gingerbread Cookies

Dark, soft and delicious! I remember my mom going North to bring grandma back to our house just to make a lot of these cookies. Watching grandma make them, I always wondered how she knew when to stop putting in the flour, she NEVER measured anything when she made these cookies. I was always in awe of her ! I can’t believe I have never seen this recipe anywhere. It’s really good. Every bite reminds me of her. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
