SPICED AND GLAZED MOLASSES COOKIES
If you'd like an even more pronounced molasses flavor, use a robust instead of mild molasses. Just don't use blackstrap in these cookies; not only will it be too strong and bitter, but it will overwhelm the spices.

Steps:
- Whisk all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and 1 1/2 tsp. pepper in a medium bowl to combine.
- Using an electric mixer on medium speed,beat brown sugar and butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and beat to incorporate. Add 1/3 cup molasses and mix just to combine. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add dry ingredients; beat just until incorporated. Pat dough together and wrap in plastic. Chill until firm, about 1 hour.
- Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 350°F. Scoop out level tablespoonfuls of dough and roll between the palms of your hands into smooth balls. Place on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing about 2" apart (you should be able to fit about 12 on each sheet).
- Bake cookies, rotating baking sheets top to bottom and back to front halfway through, until just firm around the edges, 9-12 minutes (if you like chewier cookies, bake less, and if a crispier cookie is your thing, bake a little longer). Let cookies cool about 5 minutes on baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks and let cool completely.
- Repeat with remaining dough, using fresh parchment paper on baking sheets.
- Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and remaining 1 Tbsp. molasses in a medium bowl until smooth. The glaze should be very thick and glossy but still pourable. If needed, add more milk or water 1/2-teaspoonful at a time until you get to the right consistency. Drizzle glaze over cookies and sprinkle with raw sugar and more pepper.
- Do Ahead
- Cookies can be baked and glazed 2 days ahead. Once glaze is set, store airtight at room temperature, or freeze unglazed cookies up to 1 month in resealable plastic bags.
MOLASSES SPICE COOKIES WITH DARK RUM GLAZE
From the America's Test Kitchen cookbook, same folks as cooks illustrated. They point out that if you dip your hands in water when rolling the dough into balls, it helps keep it from sticking to your hands. Also helps the sugar stick to the dough. Time does not include time to cool.

Steps:
- Adjust an oven rack to the middle position. Heat oven to 375. Spread 1/2 cup sugar in a shallow dish for coating. Set aside. Whisk the flour, baking soda, spices, pepper and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Beat butter, brown sugar and remaining 1/3 cup sugar together in a large bowl using an elecctric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3-6 inutes. Beat in egg yolk and vanilla until combined, about 30 seconds. Beat in the molasses until incorporated, about 30 seconds, scraping down the side of the bowl and bveater as needed.
- Reduce mixer speed to low. Slowly mix in the flour mixture until combined, about 30 seconds. (Dough will be soft.) Give the dough a final stir with a rubhger spatula to make sure it is combinewd.
- Using wet hands, roll 2 T. dough at a time into balls, then roll in the sugar to coat. Lay on two parchment-lined baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart. Bake, one sheet at a tim, until edges set and tops are cracked but centers are still soft and underdone. (Peek thru cracks to check centers.) It's about 10-12 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet halfway thru baking.
- Let cookies cool on sheet for 10 minutes. You can serve them at this point or transfer to a wire rack, cooling completely before putting on the rum glaze.
- To make glaze, just mix the confectioners sugar and rum together until smooth. Drizzle it over the cooled cookies. Let set for 10-15 minutes before serving.
- NOTE: if you want to make these w/o the rum glaze, you could also use a variation that has orange essence in it. Just add 1 t. grated orange zest to the dough when you add the molasses. Process 2/3 cup sugar with 2 t. grated orange zest in a food processor until fragrance, about 10 seconds. Use that for rolling instead of the plain white sugar.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, thoroughly stir together the 3 cups flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat together the butter, shortening, and brown sugar until light and well blended. Beat in the egg yolk until evenly incorporated and fluffy. Beat in molasses. Stir or beat in the flour mixture until evenly incorporated. If the dough seems very soft, stir in up to 3 tbls more flour. Divide the dough in half. Place each portion between large sheets of wax paper. Roll out each portion 1/4" thick; check underside of the dough and smooth out any wrinkles that may form. Stack the rolled portions (paper still attached) on a baking sheet. Refrigerate for 1 1/2 hours, or until chilled and firm or freeze for 45 minutes to speed chilling. (the dough may be held for up to 8 hours). Preheat the oven to 325*.Grease several baking sheets or coat with nonstick spray.
- GLAZE:.
- In a medium bowl, with an electric mixer on low speed (use a whisk-shaped beater, if available), beat the powdered sugar and egg white until blended.Increase the speed to high and beat until glossy and stiffened. Beat in lemon juice. If necessary thin the mixture with water to produce a smooth spreadable glaze. Cover the bowl with a damp kitchen cloth to keep glaze from drying out; set aside.
- Working with one portion at a time, leaving remainder chilled.gently peel away and then pat into place one sheet of wax paper.Flip over and peel away and discard second sheet of wax paper.Using a 2 1/2"-3" round or fluted cookie cutter, cut out enough cookies to fill one sheet.2" apart.(if at any time,dough gets too soft to work with easily, return dough to refrigerator or freezer to re-chill. Check the consistency of the glaze and thin it with a few drops of water, if necessary. Using a table knife, spread a smooth, even layer of glaze over the top of each cookie, spreading it all the way to the edges. Bake the cookies as soon as the glaze is on. Reroll any dough scraps and continue baking as directed above. Bake the cookies, one sheet at a time, in the middle of the oven for 11-13 minutes or until glaze is just tinged with brown. Reverse sheet halfway through baking to ensure even browning from front to back. Transfer the sheet to wire rack and let stand until the cookies firm up slightly. 1-2 minutes. Using a spatula, transfer the cookies to wire rack to cool completely. Store in a single layer or layered with wax paper in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or freeze up to 1 month.
