Cooking with Barbara
By Barbara Walker-Huff

When I moved to Hayesville eighteen years ago, my good friends Gladys Patton brought me a recipe book. " Cooking in Clay County". She was a wonderful neighbor over the years and would never let you leave herhouse without something from her pantry or freezer. She was a grand cook and gardner. She now lives in Hiawassee in an Assisted Living facility, and is sorely missed her in the old neighborhood.

One of her specialties was Molasses Sugar Cookies.
