Notes: These are the BEST Molasses Cookies you will ever have. Consider cooking for less time if you would like the cookies to be softer. This is a famous family recipe from Mrs. Bronski (one of my best friends from the cape, his mother Mary). This recipe is marked as PRIVATE because it was a very closely held secret and took many years to get a copy and only given if not to be shared in public. Enjoy!
