Sometimes there had to be treats, near as I can tell Chocolate was a big thing in the day, everyone appears to be allowed a certain limited amount of a Chocolate bar..

But today, we are going to do Cookies, .I am in bake mode on the farm today and I am doing a cross over but we are going to pick the recipes that use less sugar because its rationed remember! I am struggling because most of the sweet recipes are using a new syrup.. yup, they are so excited for white, light or golden CORN syrup.. ekkkkk

So today instead we are going to focus on Molasses instead.
