"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Personal Notes:
My mom (Loretta) had written this recipe but it doesn't say how long to bake. The last time I had made it I wrote in "probably 10-12 min." She had written it as Mother's Molasses Cookies so I am callings it Grandma's.
