Personal Notes:
Kathie Klepack This is Grandma Kronlein’s recipe. On the back of the recipe card that she wrote out - "May use bacon fat for shortening". Grandma Kronlein used to keep cookies in her tins (old cookie tins).

Kim ...She always had Molasses cookies or wafer thin sugar cookies. I used to go into downtown Ludington with my friends and we would cut through the alley and into the backyard gate of Grandma's and scarf up a cookie on the way. I loved how she kept them special in her tins. Sadly we don't have the sugar cookie recipe, but the closest I have had is the Moravian sugar cookies that come in a round tall tin.
