RUM & MOLASSES COOKIES
Steps:
- Sift together the flour, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice and salt. Combine 1 cup dark molasses and 1 teaspoon baking powder and let the foaming subside. Cream softened butter with 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Add molasses and beat well. Add rum and water. Add dry ingredients in thirds, mixing well after each addition. When dough is smooth, cover and refrigerate overnight. Roll dough on floured surface to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into chosen shapes. Gather scraps, re-roll and use all of the dough. Place cutouts 2 inches apart on buttered, floured cookie sheets or they also bake well on parchment or Silpat. Bake in a 375 degree oven 10-15 minutes, depending on your oven - until crispy on the outer edges. Cool and frost with your favorite frosting leaving some unfrosted since they are wonderful, too!
