Hi guys! Once again, I am going to share with all of you a nice recipe to celebrate this year's christmas and from the title, it's all gonna be about Z cookie. What's christmas like without that fragrance in your oven and that mouth-watering batch of freshly made cookies on your dinner table? ~All I NEED for Christmas is my fresh cookies! ~ ... Anyway, here's a real simple recipe for a nice post-dinner or mid-night snack. And molasses is a type of syrupy sugar though I can't find any in singapore so use honey instead for it's almost the same colour.

You'll need:
1 c. molasses/Honey
1 c. sugar
1 c. melted butter
1 egg
1 c. milk
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. cloves
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
5-6 c. flour

Steps:
Add following ingredients in order given - molasses, sugar, butter, egg and milk. Sift soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg in 1 cup flour, and add to other mixture. Add 4 more cups flour, and mix well. Turn onto floured board and roll quite thick.

(If dough is sticky, add flour until it is not). Cut out with any cookie cutter - makes a great gingerbread man. Bake on greased cookie sheets 10-12 minutes at 325 F/170 C until lightly golden brown.

If making gingerbread men, use raisins or M&N's for eyes, and nose, and buttons.
