Steps:
- Into a medium bowl, sift together the flour, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and allspice; set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the shortening and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Meanwhile, in glass measuring cup, combine the rum, 1/4 cup water, and salt. Stir to dissolve; set aside. Stir the baking soda into the molasses; set aside. To the shortening mixture, add the liquid ingredients alternating with the dry ingredients scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. The dough will be sticky. Transfer to a baking sheet, and cover with plastic wrap. Chill overnight in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line baking sheets with Silpats (French nonstick baking mats). Remove dough from refrigerator, and transfer half of the dough at a time to a floured work surface. Roll out dough 1/8-inch-thick. Using a 4-inch round cutter or a large glass, cut out dough rounds. Using a spatula, place cookies 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake until the tops begin to crack, 10 to 12 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough. Transfer baking sheets to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Another recipe from way back when, I use this to make Gingerbread men at the holidays. My daughter always loved to decorate the cookies with colored sugars, sprinkles, red hot candies, etc. The prep time includes the time necessary for the dough to chill.

ORIGINAL JOE FROGGERS~FLAVORS OF CAPE COD
This recipe is over 100 years old ~ and made of sea water then.(Should be perfect survival food for ambitious field trips!) The Legend of Joe Froggers: A couple known as Aunt Crease and Black Joe lived at the edge of a pond in Marblehead, Massachusetts. Joe had fought in the Revolution as a young man. On election night, they would open their house, which on occasion was also a local tavern, and serve grog. Joe would play the fiddle and Aunt Crease would cook. One of her specialties was a molasses cookie the size of a modern-day salad plate Taken from cookbook ~ Flavor of Cape Cod.

Steps:
- Cream shortening and sugar until light. Dissolve salt in water and mix with rum. Add baking soda to molasses. Sift flour with spices. Add liquid ingredients alternately with flour mixture to creamed mixture. Stir well between additions. ( if your mixer has a dough hook, this works well) Dough is, and should be sticky. Chill overnight in refrigerator. When ready to bake, roll dough to 1'2" thickness. Cut with large cutter.
- Bake in 375 degree oven for 10-12 minutes. I don't grease cookie sheet, and because cookies are large, put only 6 to a sheet to accommodate spreading as they cook. Yield: about 4 dozen.
- Some tips on making and cooking these: Dough is very sticky, and soft, never worked with this type of dough before, and I have made alot of cookies that you roll out. Need a well floured counter or sheet your using, and roll them 1/2 for softer cookies~ 1/4 for a little crispy. Watch the cooking time as they need to be a little firm but not to firm. If your going to use cut-out shapes, make sure you keep them well floured. When transferring them to the cookie sheet, use a wide spatula, don't try to pick up with your hands. They are worth the work and wait (overnight in refrigerator) yummy old fashioned molasses cookies

JOE FROGGERS
This is from Maida Heatter's New Book of Great Desserts. They are a good cookie for traveling or mailing. The dough should be refrigerated overnight before the cookies are rolled, cut and baked. Allow plenty of time for baking since they are only baked 4 at a time. Prep times are only approximate. You mileage will vary.

Steps:
- Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, mace, allspice and optional black pepper.
- Set aside.
- In the large bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter until it softens.
- Add the sugar and beat to mix.
- Beat in the molasses.
- Then, on low speed, add about half of the dry ingredients, scraping the bowl as necessary with a rubber spatula and beating until mixed.
- Beat in the water or coffee and rum, and then the remaining dry ingredients.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate until it is firm enough to be handled.
- Then divide into thirds and wrap each piece in plastic wrap: refrigerate overnight.
- When you are ready to bake, adjust a rack to the center of the oven and preheat to 375°F.
- Cut aluminum foil to fit cookie sheets, and place on sheets.
- Flour a pastry cloth and a rolling pin, using more rather than less flour.
- Unwrap one of the packages of dough and place it on the cloth.
- Pound it a bit with the rolling pin to soften it slightly.
- Turn it over to flour both sides.
- Work very quickly because the dough will become sticky and unmanageable if it softens too much.
- Roll out in all directions until the dough is 1/4-inch thick.
- Quickly cut with a floured 5-inch round cutter.
- Use a wide metal spatula to transfer the cookies to the foil.
- Quickly and carefully place them about 1 inch apart on the foil, about 4 per sheet.
- Press scraps together and re chill (freezer is O. K.), the re roll and cut.
- Bake one sheet at a time for 13-15 minutes, reversing the sheet from front to back during baking, to ensure even baking.
- Watch these very carefully- they must not burn even a bit on the bottoms or it will spoil the taste.
- If they seem to be browning too much on the bottoms, be prepared to slide an extra cookie sheet under the one that is baking.
- Or raise the rack slightly higher in the oven (but I have found that if I bake these higher, they crack. It is only minor, but it does not happen when they are baked on the middle rack- that is why I only bake these one sheet at a time).
- Be very careful not to over bake these cookies.
- They will become firmer as they cool, and they should remain a bit soft and chewy in the middle.
- If you use a smaller cookie cutter, the cookies will probably bake in slightly less time.
- Slide the foil off the sheet and let stand for a few minutes (meanwhile, slide the cookie sheet under another piece of foil with cookies on it and place in oven).
- Use a wide metal spatula to transfer the cookies to a rack to cool.
- Since these are so large, if the rack is not raised enough (at least 1/2 inch or more), place the rack on any right-side up bowl or pan to make room for more air to circulate underneath.
- When completely cool, store these airtight.
- I wrap them, two to three a package, bottoms together, in clear cellophane.
