Spicy Molasses Thins

 

1/4 cup stick margarine

1/4 cup molasses

3 tablespoons dark brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon ground allspice

1 cup all-purpose flour

vegetable cooking spray

1 1/2 tablespoons sugar

 

Combine margarine and molasses in a small saucepan, and bring to a simmer over

medium-high heat. Remove from heat, and pour into a bowl. Add brown sugar,

ginger, cinnamon, and allspice, and beat at medium speed of a mixer until

blended. Gradually add flour, beating until well-blended. Cover and freeze for

15 minutes.

Lightly coat hands with cooking spray. Shape 1 1/2 teaspoons dough into a ball;

repeat to make 24 balls. Roll balls in sugar, and place 2 inches apart on

ungreased baking sheets; flatten cookies with the bottom of a glass. Bake at

350° for 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes on baking sheets. Remove from

baking sheets, and let cool completely on wire racks.

Makes 2 dozen.
