GINGER SNAPS. One cup of molasses, one cup of sugar. Put four table- spoons of boiling water into a cup and fill the cup with melted butter. One teaspoon of ginger, one of salt and one of soda. Mix as soft as you can roll out ; roll as thin as a knife blade. COOKIES. One cup sugar, two-thirds cup butter, two tablespoons sour milk, one large egg or two small ones, a little soda.
