This recipe goes back to my great grandmother and maybe before. These cookies are great with a cup of tea! The color of your cookies will vary depending on what type of molassas you use, light molassas will give you a light brown, dark molassas a dark brown and black strap molassas very dark brown. All varieties work fine and I use whatever I happen to have on hand.
