I've never had them store bought, but about a year ago, I made several
batches. I have a tendency to double cooky recipes when I make them,
and the pre-war better homes/gardens recipe didn't disappoint... I
didn't realize how huge the original recipe was. It was rather recently
that the last of my frozen ones were eaten. It is a great cooky to go
along with a cup of coffee in the morning. I might not use the jar of
Molasses again until I decide to make more gingersnaps... lol
