grandpa stewart's molasses drop cookies
This is the recipe my hubby remembers making with Grandpa Stewart when he and his brother were young. He also made Grandpa Stewart's Raw Apple Cake (the recipe is in JAP). When we got married, and he shared these memories, I immediately asked for the recipes! Enjoy!
