MAINE MULTI-SPICE COOKIES(MAINE CHEWIES)
Adapted from Yankee magazine. Supposedly a version of this recipe is served on board the "Mary Day," a schooner from Maine. Any cookie with cardamom in it is a cookie for me. These are by far the best tasting spice cookies I have ever tried. Please use a wooden spoon to mix the dough - an electric mixer might make the dough too tough.

Steps:
- Combine butter, sugar, all 5 spices, and salt in a large mixing bowl, mixing well with a wooden spoon.
- Dissolve baking soda in the warm water and then stir into the butter mixture.
- Stir in the molasses and the lightly beaten egg, mixing well.
- Add flour,1 cup at a time, stirring to mix- the dough will be quite stiff (be sure to scrape all the way down to the bottom of the bowl to mix evenly).
- Scoop the dough into walnut sized lumps (about 1 Tbsp or so) and drop onto greased or parchment-lined baking sheets, about 2" apart.
- Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 8-12 minutes, or until crackled and browned. They will look very, very soft in the middles but as long as you can lift them with a spatula they are ready.
- Let cool 1 minute on pans before carefully lifting with a spatula to cooling racks.
- Finished cookies should be somewhat chewy.
