[Orange County Register, date unknown] [Some people like molasses cookies, some people like snickerdoodles. Judging by how often she made them, these were the favorite cookie of my ex-roommate Ruth Elaine. If you're making a plate of cookies, these cookies - thick sugar cookies with a hint of cinnamon, basically - make a good supporting cookie to include with the fudge and the lemon kiss cookies.] June 1991 Hazel Boston-Baden, P.O.
