Butterscotch Molasses Cookies

 My sister-in-law, Ada made these cookies for a family gathering.  They were chewy and delicious.  They are a new favorite cookie.  Everyone loved them.  In fact, one of the family members was caught smuggling some out with him.  We won't mention who.  Try them.  You will like them!
