Good Moravian Christmas Cookies

Directions

Mix flour, sugar, butter, and spices together.

Heat molasses until lukewarm and add baking soda to it.

Add molasses to rest of ingredients and mix well.

If necessary, add a little water to the dough to get it to a soft enough consistency to roll it.

Roll the dough on a well floured surface, making it as thin as possible. (Paper thin, if you can!)

Cut into desired shapes, and transfer to a non-stick cookie sheet.

Bake at 350℉ (180℃) F for 6 to 8 minutes.

Decorate if desired.
