CAPTAIN MORGAN'S BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES COOKIES

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350°F and line 2 sheet pans with bakers's paper.
• In a bowl sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, allspice, mace, cinnamon, cloves and fresh nutmeg.
• Use a Kitchen-Aid with a paddle. Beat sugar and butter until fluffy about 2-3 minutes. Add egg, Captian Morgan's Rum, Blackstrap Molasses and beat at low-speed for 3-4 minutes.
• Add dry ingredients in small amounts until flour has been incorporated and mix until batter is smooth.
• Roll cookie dough into a ball, place in a bowl, cover with plastic and chill for 1 hour.
• Use a 2-ounce scoop for uniform size. Roll dough in the palm of your hand to form a ball. Place on sheet pans about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten cookies. Place walnut pieces on cookies and dust with a little fine sugar.
• Bake cookies at 350 F for 8-10 minutes.
• Chef's Note: You can substitute Splenda Brown Sugar for the brown sugar.

SOFT MOLASSES COOKIES

Steps:

• Mix the milk and vinegar and set aside for a minute.
• In a large bowl mix well the sugar, both molasses and shortening (if you don't have the Black Strap you can use the regular but the taste is much better with the black strap).
• Add the milk and vinegar mixture.
• Add the dry ingredients mixing well.
• Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Roll out on a floured board and cut in circle the size you want (I usually do one about 3 inches).
• Sprinkle the tops with some sugar.
• Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 7-8 minute.
• Don't overbake them, just till done.

BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES COOKIES (EGGLESS)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Mix butter and sugar in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Add molasses, maple syrup, and water; beat thoroughly. Mix in ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt.
• Sift 2 1/2 cups flour, baking soda, and baking powder together in a bowl; mix into wet ingredients until combined. Let dough sit for about 10 minutes; it should be thick enough to roll into a ball. If not, add a little more flour.
• Scoop 1 tablespoon dough and roll it into a ball. Place on a baking sheet and flatten slightly. Repeat to form remaining cookies.
• Bake in batches in the preheated oven until edges are golden, about 15 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before removing to paper towels to cool completely.
