Ingredients:

  • 1 cup margarine
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup molasses
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 5 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp ginger (or to taste)
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon (or to taste)
  • 1 tsp allspice (or to taste)

Directions:

  1. Place margarine in large mixing bowl; soften it in a microwave for a few seconds.
  2. Cream sugar and margarine; add molasses and water.
  3. Combine flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and allspice.
  4. Add to the mixing bowl; mix together.
  5. Let dough cool, covered, in freezer for at least one hour.
  6. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
  7. Roll out dough; cut out with cookie cutters.
  8. If the cookies are thin, bake for 6 minutes.
  9. If cookies are thick, bake for 8 minutes.
  10. Cookies will appear slightly underbaked but that's what makes them taste so good and chewy!
  11. Cool cookies on a wire rack.
  12. These cookies stand their own without frosting, but if you want to frost them, mix a cup of powdered sugar with a little water to make frosting. Draw a few accent lines or dots on the cookies.
