Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup molasses
½ cup strong brewed coffee, room temperature
5 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
1 ½ cups white sugar
½ cup water
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of the white sugar, molasses and coffee.
  • Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, ground nutmeg, ground cloves and ground ginger. Add the flour mixture to the molasses mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate dough for 2 hours.

Uncover and cook over medium-high heat until a candy thermometer reads 234-240 degrees F (112-115 degrees C), softball stage. This should take about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove form the heat and stir in the marshmallows until smooth.
  • In a clean bowl beat the egg whites until frothy. Gradually beat in the sugar/marshmallow mixture and continue beating, on high, for 7 to 8 minutes or until stiff peaks form. Frost the cooled cookies. Let the frosting harden before storing the cookies in an airtight container.
