Molasses Gingersnapssave
"The most treasured recipe in Julie J's recipe box is the one for her aunt Erma's Molasses Gingersnaps. The oil-stained recipe card, written in Erma H.'s meticulous script, symbolizes the special bond between Julie and her aunt, who passed away not long ago at the age of 92. "Sometimes," says Julie, "I'll take out that recipe just to look at her handwriting."..."
