CRY BABY COOKIES

These cookies are from 1937. They have been in my "special" cook-book for years, but I don't know where it came from. They are really good..the true old-fashioned kind! I usually get about 3 doz., but that depends on how big of a spoon you use to drop them on the cookie-sheet.

CRY BABY MOLASSES COOKIES

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

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.

  • Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed until completely smooth, about 1 minute.
