Ingredients: 1/2
cup
butter 3/4
cup
packed dark brown sugar 1
egg 1/2
cup
molasses 1
tablespoon
hot water 2
teaspoons
anise extract 3 1/3
cups
flour 1/2
teaspoon
baking soda 1
teaspoon
cinnamon,
or more to taste
1
teaspoon
cloves,
or more to taste
1/4
teaspoon
salt 1/2
teaspoon
white pepper
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix butter, sugar, egg, molasses, anise extract, and water until very light and fluffy. Blend in flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, salt, and pepper. Shape level teaspoonfuls into balls. Bake 1 inch apart on ungreased sheet 12 mins, until golden brown on the bottom. I like to roll them in powdered sugar after they are cool. Store airtight, or for softer cookie, store with a slice of apple.
