The spritzers turned out quite differently, depending on which of us kids (or Mom) handled the press. We generally let her do it. What we loved was making molasses cookies, cutting them out with Christmas-themed cookie cutters, then decorating with sprinkles. One year (hippie college student) I tried using these for tree ornaments. Oops, too much moisture! The weight of the cookies broke through the top and they all fell off onto the floor. We ate 'em anyway.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239798951473493987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27385862.post-26035334433097407032009-12-07T06:30:45.758-07:002009-12-07T06:30:45.758-07:00Hi, Frances!
