Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour; 1 tablespoon ground ginger; 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon; 1 teaspoon ground cloves; 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg; 3/4 teaspoon salt; 3/4 teaspoon baking soda; 3/4 cup molasses; 1/4 cup water; ½ tablespoons softened butter; 1 cup light or dark brown sugar, firmly packed; 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Servings: persons

3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup water
½ tablespoons softened butter
1 cup light or dark brown sugar, firmly packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar

1
Mix flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, salt and baking soda in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix molasses and water.
2
In a large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in molasses mixture, then dry ingredients, to form stiff dough; if dough is sticky, add up to 1/4 cup more flour.
3
Quarter the dough, form each portion into a disc, wrap in plastic and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. (Can be refrigerated up to 1 week or frozen up to 1 month.)
4
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
5
On a heavily floured work surface, roll 1 portion of dough into a 9-by-7-inch rectangle. Sprinkle dough with 1 Tb. sugar; use rolling pin to press sugar into dough. Cut dough (preferably with a fluted-edge pastry cutter) into 9-by-1/2-inch sticks. Place sticks about 1/2-inch apart on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake on middle rack until done, 18 to 22 minutes; after 10 minutes, rotate sheet from back to front. Repeat with remaining dough in batches.
