Sorry. It has been a crazy week. I pop in here at work when I need a break but never have the cookbook then

3/4 c light molasses
1/2 c butter
2 beaten eggs
************
4.25 c sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 c granulated sugar
1.25 teaspoons soda
1.5 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp nutmeg
dash pepper

Combine molasses and butter in saucepan; cook and stir till butter melts. Cool to room temperature. Stir in eggs.

Sift together flour, sugar, soda, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and pepper. Add to molasses mixture, mix well.

Chill several hours or overnight.

Shape into 1-inch balls. Bake at 375 for 12 minutes. Cool, roll in confectioners sugar. Makes 4.5 dozen cookies.

Sounds yummy but like I said, I haven't tried it. If I ever find myself with molasses I think it'll be up there on the list!
