Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Melt butter or margarine over low heat until the butter turns light brown. Add molasses, brown sugar and oil, stirring to melt the sugar. Transfer to a mixing bowl and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Add cinnamon, ginger, cloves, allspice and baking soda. Mix well. Add flour, 1/2 cup at a time, and beat until just blended.
- Put the dough onto a large sheet of plastic wrap; flatten it into a disk and wrap it up. Let dough rest at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours before rolling. NOTE: Dough can be made up to three days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before rolling.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Lightly grease cookie sheets.
- Divide dough in half and rewrap the unused portion. Roll out the dough on a floured surface as thin as possible, less than 1/16 inch. Cut out cookies with a small 2-inch cutter and place them about 1/4 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake one sheet at a time for 8 to 10 minutes or until the cookies are crisp and just beginning to brown on the edges. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining dough. Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.

Maybe I didn't do this properly, but the dough was so dry that I had an extremely difficult time making wafers out of it.

Like mjteodori, the dough can get a bit crumbly. Instead of using 2 cups of flour, I only used 1.5. I also added a liny bit more butter to loosen the dough. Overall, great recipe, though. Ve...

Great recipe. You need a little TLC with the dough. My previous recipe required 1-2 hours in the frig before rolling out not room temp. I find this a little easier than working with room temp do...

The dough was a little hard to work with because it's dense. Great amount of spice! I will maybe add a little less flour and see if that helps. I'll review again.

I've made these a few times and they always come out perfectly. I would point out that of you are in the UK, I think you need to use golden syrup instead of the molasses specified. I'm not sure ...
