This is the cookie of my childhood. I don't know how many batches mom made over the years. My dad was head oil buyer for Wesson Oil from 1960 to the mid-80s, so we took extra pride in these making and sharing these cookies! Our variation: Because my dad grew up on a farm in Indiana, where they grew sorghum, we use sorghum instead of molasses...very delicious. I hope you try them.

This recipe was a family favorite for many years! It was in the Wesson Oil cookbook.
