Cry Baby Molasses Cookies image

Again another one of my Grandma Clark's recipes our family LOVES. It is at almost every family gathering. I have used 'store bought' icing before and it works OK but I prefer to make my own powdered sugar icing. This is a LARGE recipe and my servings are a guess as my family eats the cookies before I can count. I often half this recipe to make a more manageable number of cookies.
