This family recipe was almost lost. Grandma gave this recipe to Mary S. after the dementia set in. Sarah was at Mary's after Grandma's funeral getting a recipe. This recipe fell out of Mary's box and Sarah picked it up, recognizing her mother's handwriting. Mary pled with Sarah to let her keep it saying that Grandma had given it to her. Sarah made her a copy and the original recipe is in Sarah's recipe box and now here.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: Fresh peanut butter and molasses will give your cookies the best flavor.
Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough.
Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
Bake the cookies at the right temperature: Bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown around the edges.
Let the cookies cool completely before eating: The cookies will continue to set as they cool, so it's important to let them cool completely before eating them.
