INSTRUCTIONS
Mix in order given. The dough will be quite soft for nice spreading cookies or you can add a bit more flour for a slightly firmer dough and a more upstanding cookie. They will still be moist and irresistable. Drop by heaping tsp. or T onto sheet, depending on size of cookie you want. I make nice 4-5 bite size ones...my brother always made enormous cookies. (I don't know if it's ungr. or greased.....I always grease it to be on the safe side) :) Bake in preheated 350 oven for 10 to 15 min. Cool on racks. Note: This recipe is originally from the Nova Scotia area and is a beloved recipe that came from a neighbourhood mom in Ontario. I am only sharing it because I can't stand the thought of kids worldwide growing up molasses-cookieless. :) Shared by: Monique Jackson Posted to MM-Recipes Digest by Country Mouse <mjcksn@telusplanet.net> on 15 A, ug 1998
