Personal Notes:
Mom said that Dad wanted her to make molasses cookies like his Grandmother Carter made. Mom never was able to find a recipe that he said was the same. I found this recipe written on a piece of paper, with her cookbooks .I don't know where it came from but I bet these were like his grandma's cookies he remembered or maybe it just a small boy's memory of his grandma's kitchen and those after school cookies.
