The Twelve Cookies of Christmas-Moravian Spice Cookie WafersToday's cookie recipe is from this website. I love a good spice cookie and these did not disappoint! I made a half batch of this one and the recipe divides really easily. This is one of those spice cookies that calls for savory spices like pepper and mustard, but it all blends together really well. Don't be grossed out by the thought, I promise it's delicious!
I finally remembered to do a gathered ingredients shot!
Here are all the dried ingredients. You can see it's a lot of spices!
The very important creaming step. There's not a lot of fat in this recipe for the amount of cookies it makes. The crisper the cookie, the less fat is in it. That's a good rule of thumb to keep in mind when trying to eat a little healthier.
Mixing in the molasses.
You can see it's pretty dry when you mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. It's discouraging at first and you might think it's not going to work, but just keep kneading it. I had to turn it out and knead it by hand, but it eventually incorporated properly.
Here's what it will eventually look like, so don't give up!
I've never really tried rolling out the dough between waxed paper before, but it worked pretty well. It stuck a little so I might flour it first next time, but otherwise it worked really well.
Here they are ready for the oven!
And here they are out of the oven!
These cookies are really crispy, and really spicy. Not spicy hot, but just spiced. It's the kind of spice that sticks with you. You should eat them on a really cold day and it'll warm you up from the inside out. This is one of the most wintery ones I've made so far. They really scream Christmas. I highly recommend these!
Happy Baking!
