Categories     Cookies     Ginger     Dessert

Yield Two dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons ginger
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup dark molasses
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 cups butter
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup dark rum
1/4 cup water

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!

These cookies were a little too soft for my taste, but I still enjoyed them.

I followed the recipe exactly and my cookies turned out flat and hard. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but I think I might have added too much sugar.

I added some chopped walnuts to these cookies and they were delicious! I think I'll also try adding some raisins next time.
