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 dont know if its 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:
recipe that came from a neighbourhood mom in Ontario. I am only sharing it because I cant stand the thought of kids worldwide growing up molasses-cookieless. :)
