Ingredients

1 1/2 c. sugar

1 c. butter, softened

2 Tbsp. water or milk

3 Tbsp. treacle

1 egg

3 1/4 c. flour

2 tsp. baking soda

2 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. salt

1 1/2 tsp. ginger

1 tsp. cloves

1/2 tsp. cardamom seeds (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350˚F. Combine sugar, butter, water, treacle and egg in a large bowl. Blend well. Mix all remaining ingredients in another bowl, then add gradually to wet mixture until blended thoroughly. Divede dough into thirds. Place two thirds, wrapped in plastic, in refrigerator. Roll remaining third to approx. 1/8 in. thickness and cut out your favorite shapes. Place on ungreased cookie sheets. Roll out the next third and do the same until all dough has been cut and placed on sheets. Bake 7-10 minutes or until “set.” Immediately remove cookies from sheets (or they will quickly become irremovable) and place on cooling racks. Frost as you wish.
