For a richer flavor, use dark molasses. Chilling the dough is essential for preventing the cookies from spreading too much during baking. Feel free to experiment with different spices, such as cardamom or nutmeg, to customize the flavor profile. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large bowl, combine the molasses, brown sugar, and shortening. Using an electric mixer, beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Gradually add the cold water, blending until fully incorporated. (Note: Some separation of the shortening may occur, which is perfectly normal.)
02
StepIn a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, ginger, and salt. This ensures an even distribution of spices throughout the dough.
03
StepGradually add the flour mixture to the molasses mixture, blending until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be soft and pliable. Divide the dough into two equal balls, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes to chill.
04
StepPreheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
05
StepOn a lightly floured surface, roll out one ball of chilled dough to a thickness of either 1/4 inch for crispier cookies or 1/2 inch for softer, chewier cookies. Use your favorite cookie cutters to cut out shapes, placing the cookies about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough.
06
StepBake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12 to 13 minutes, or until the edges are firm and lightly golden. Remove from the oven and immediately transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting or enjoying.
