mix
1 /3 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups black molasses
stir in
1/2 cup cold water
then add:
1 t. salt
2 t. allspice
2 t. ginger
2 t. cloves
2 t. cinammon
2 tsp. soda dissolved in 3 T. cold water
7 cups flour - I think the dough became so stiff that I could add only 5 cups of flour.
oven - 350
bake 15-18 min.
chill the dough and then roll out thick 1/2 inch dough and cut with cookie cutter
add your raisin or candy eyes, etc. After baking use icing to pipe on embellishments. Can use twizzlers (unbraided) for bow ties and trim.
I think we made a butter cream icing made with lots of butter and cream (and sugar).
