Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
These are the FAMOUS Molasses cookies that Grandma Miller baked every year from the first day of Fall through New Years day. It was my favorite then and quickly became a favorite of our family as well.

These can be made ahead and allowed to firm up on a cookie sheet in the freezer and then placed in freezer bags so you can thaw and bake whenever you need a plate to take to a party or gift to a neighbor or dare I say eat frozen.
