1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375u00b0; lightly grease (or line w/ parchment paper) 2 baking sheets.

2. 2

   In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, spices, salt, and baking soda.

3. 3

   In a saucepan set over low heat, or in the microwave, melt together the butter, sugar, molasses, and rum.

4. 4

   Stir the molasses mixture into the flour mixture; the dough will be wet and sticky.

5. 5

   Cover and refrigerate the dough, for 30 minutes or longer; it will become quite firm.

10. 10

    Remove them from the oven and transfer to a rack to cool.

11. 11

    Store in airtight container as soon as they are just barely warm.
