Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -- -- --

8 oz Dark molasses

1/2 c Brown sugar

1/2 c Margarine

1 1/2 ts Cinnamon

1 1/2 ts Cloves

1 t Ginger

1 t Allspice

1/2 ts Nutmeg

1 tb Baking soda

4 c Flour

Mix flour, sugar, butter, and spices together. Heat

molasses until lukewarm and add baking soda to it.

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

humanly possible. (Paper thin, if you can!) Cut into desired shapes, and transfer to a non-stick cookie

350 degrees for 6 to 8 minutes. If ya

do it right, you'll end up with a delicately thin, not

too sweet, yummy spicy cookie. This recipe makes

about 40,000 cookies <g>, so be prepared to eat lots

of 'em!! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
