Ingredients
1 cup butter, at room temperature1/2 cup molasses1/4 cup packed light brown sugar1 large egg1 teaspoon vanilla extract2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour1/2 teaspoon baking powder1/4 teaspoon salt1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon1/4 teaspoon ground cloves1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 F. In a large mixing bowl beat together butter, molasses and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla until well blended. Set aside. In another bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and ginger. Stir into creamed mixture until well blended. Divide dough into fourths. Place 1/4 of dough in a cookie press and press out cookies onto ungreased baking sheet (for best results, use a shiny silver baking sheet and not the kind witha non-stick coating). Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until set, but not brown. Allow to cool for 2 minutes on baking sheet, then remove to wire racks to cool.
