Personal Notes:
Gramas molasses cookies have a special place in our hearts.
I think they were also known as Ginger Snaps. As our mom (Eileen Wagner) was spending her last hours here on earth before joining her Lord and family in heaven, she opened her eyes and said to us four daughter around her...."Girls, can you smell it? Momma is baking Ginger Snaps"! We have always said that Grama was getting the banquet table ready for Moms homecoming!
