These cookies are what Christmas tastes like! This recipe makes a fairly big batch, which is perfect for sharing with friends and guests. If you like thick chewy cookies, it will make about 48 , but if you like them smaller or thin, it would be most practical to make a half batch, or you'll be cutting out cookies for the whole day! The prep time listed below is aproximate, because the time involved is proportional to the size of your cookies. You can also prepare the dough ahead of time, freeze it, then bake them later.

SERVES 48 , 48 -100 Cookies (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 cup margarine
1 cup sugar
1 cup molasses
1/4 cup water
5 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 tablespoon ginger (or to taste)
1 tablespoon cinnamon (or to taste)
1 teaspoon allspice (or to taste)

Directions

1
Place margarine in large mixing bowl & soften it in microwave for a few seconds.
2
Cream sugar and margarine, then add molasses and water.
3
Combine all dry ingredients, and add to the mixing bowl & mix together.
4
Let dough cool, covered, in freezer for at least an hour.
5
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
6
Roll out dough & cut out with cookie cutters.
7
If the cookies are thin, bake for 6 minutes. If they're thick, bake for 8 minutes. They will appear slightly underbaked, but that's what makes them taste so good & chewy!
8
Let them cool on wire rack.

These cookies stand their own without frosting, but if you want to, mix a cup of powdered sugar with a little water to make frosting. Draw a few accent lines or dots on the cookies.
