1/2 c Butter
2/3 c Light brown sugar; packed
1/3 c Molasses
1/3 c Water
2 c Flour-minus 1 tb
1 ts Baking soda
Cream the butter and sugar together; stir in the molasses and water. Sift together the flour, soda. Drop by heaping teaspoonsfuls onto well buttered cookie sheets. Bake 11-12 minutes. Loosen immediately from the pan, using a spatula, but wait until the cookies have slightly cooled before transferring them to a cookie rack. Store when cold, in a tightly covered container. NOTE: to make Nantucket Ginger Cookies, add 1 teaspoon ground ginger. Pat Dwigans —–
