Ingredients

  • 8 ounces dark molasses
  • ½ cup of brown sugar
  • ½ cup of margarine
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cloves
  • 1 teaspoon ginger
  • 1 teaspoon allspice
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon baking soda
  • 4 cups flour

Directions

  1. Mix flour, sugar, butter, and spices together.
  2. Heat molasses until lukewarm and add baking soda to it.
  3. Add molasses to rest of ingredients and mix well. If necessary, add a little water to the dough to get it to a soft enough consistency to roll it. Roll the dough on a well-floured surface, making it as thin as possible.
  4. Cut into desired shapes, and transfer to a non-stick cookie sheet.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees for 6 to 8 minutes.
