CRY BABY MOLASSES COOKIES



Cry Baby Molasses Cookies image

Again another one of my Grandma Clark's recipes our family LOVES. It is at almost every family gathering. I have used 'store bought' icing before and it works OK but I prefer to make my own powdered sugar icing. This is a LARGE recipe and my servings are a guess as my family eats the cookies before I can count. I often half this recipe to make a more manageable number of cookies.

CRY BABIES~ A MOLASSES COOKIE



Cry Babies~ A Molasses Cookie image

This is a Family Heirloom recipe, that my Norwegian Grandma was making at least as early as the 1920s, when my Mom was just a little girl. She probably got it from her Mom. It is a cake-like cookie, that seems to get better as it sits.
