Personal Notes:
This was my grandmother's recipe and we have loved these cookies for a LONG time. One trick to keep molasses cookies moist is to place a piece of bread in the cookie jar or Tupperware container along with the cookies. Be sure to change the slice of bread for a new one as it dries out - the cookies will stay tasty and moist.
