2/3 cup molasses
4 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Cream the sugar and butter together. Add the beaten eggs and molasses. Sift the dry ingredients together and blend with the above mixture. Shape into long rolls, about 1/2" in diameter. Wrap in waxed paper and chill several hours or overnight in the refrigerator. Slice in one inch segments and place on well-greased cookie sheets and bake 8 minutes in a 400 degree oven.

My Grandma passed away at the age of 94. She was a wonderful cook and I was lucky enough to inherit her recipes. Many date back to the 1940s and 50s. Grandma prepared them in a charming country kitchen with no running water and most of her produce came from her garden, not from the grocery store. These are made-from-scratch recipes. I wish I had spent more time with her in the kitchen and . . . I wish I had spent more time with her for so many other reasons.
