This is almost exactly my great-grandmother's molasses cookie recipe except that hers calls for 4t molasses, 1 rounded t ginger, and 1/2t cloves. Hers also only requires that you sift the flour once. I did go ahead and sift the flour several times according to this recipe, but it was really unnecessary. The results were exactly the same as when I make my great-grandmother's cookies and only sift once.

I have got to learn to read all the reviews before making a dish! My yam was too large so I cut it into 1 1/2" to 2" slices. I had to boil them for over 20 minutes before they were tender. I baked them as directed, but found them way underdone. Then I read the reviews. So I baked them more... and then some more. Finally I just ended up mashing and covering them with honey, sugar, cinnamon, and whipped cream. I guess I just don't like the natural flavor of yams.

I am really happy with this recipe. It was so easy, healthy(ish), and delicious. I made a half batch but forgot to halve the sugar. It was still very good. I mixed the legs with a little Accent, garlic, and onion powder about three hours before cooking. I also used bacon fat to brown the chicken. My picky boyfriend gave this the thumbs-up and I'll definitely be making it again.
