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
sheet. Bake at 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!!
