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.
FROSTED MOLASSES COOKIES
This recipe was one I picked up in gourmet class in college. It was my teacher's grandmother's recipe and she made us a batch while we prepared our own cookie recipes. They were SO good and when she spoke of making them with her grandmother, you could tell that those memories were very special to her. Make them a part of your cookie jar stock!

MOLASSES AND SPICE LEMON SANDWICH COOKIES
It's really hard to imagine what a wonderful combination this is. Make it once and you'll be hooked! Why this recipe works: these cookies combine the best of two worlds - a chewy molasses cookie with a tart lemon filling. To keep the cookies soft and chewy, take care not to overbake them. They are done when the cookies puff and just start to crack on top (they should sink into flat cookies when you take them out of the oven). For the best flavor, use fresh spices (replace your spices if they are more than one year old) and dark (or robust) molasses, avoiding black-strap molasses, which will make the cookies bitter.

Place cookies 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
- Bake for 7 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until edges begin to darken. Allow cookies to cool completely before sandwiching. Frost solid cookies and place a cookie with the center hole on top.
- To make the frosting: Beat 1 tablespoon of margarine and water together. Blend in the ginger and salt. Gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar until the desired consistency is reached. Sandwich between cooled cookies.
