Directions:

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in molasses and vanilla; mix well. Combine dry ingredients; gradually add to creamed mixture.

For frosting, in a medium saucepan, bring sugars and butter to a boil; boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in milk; bring to a boil. Remove from heat (mixture will look curdled at first). Cool for 3 minutes. Add vanilla and salt; mix well. Frost warm cookies.
