PJ, your recipe--except for the add-ins--looks amazingly similar to my grandmother's recipe for molasses cookies. I'm in my mid-50s and live in Arkansas. (Were she still living, she'd now be 95.) I usually only make these around the holidays; it keeps them special to my daughter and my brothers, who remember her with love. I'll try yours as a 'winter treat' and see what they say. Thanks!
