Does anyone have a good recipe for a spicy cookie (cut out kind) that doesn't use molasses? (Not crazy about molasses!)..kind of a brown sugary..buttery cookie I can use with my cookie cutters?
Would appreciate it.

MsSadie - this was from the December 1956 Woman's Day
Santa's Boots
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. each ground cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and allspice
1 cup honey
1 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. Orange juice
2 Tbsp. each chopped citron, candied orange peel and candied lemon peel
2 cups blanched sliced almonds
Decorating icing and nonpareils, cookie cutters.
1. In a bowl whisk flour, salt and spices until blended.
2. In a 3 qt. pan over medium-low heat, heat honey sugar and juice; stir until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat.
3. Pulse citron, peels and almonds in food processor until finely chopped; stir in honey and flour mixtures until blended. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
4. Heat oven to 325F. Line baking sheet(s) with foil (I would use parchment). Divide dough into 4 disks; wrap and chill until ready to roll.
5. On floured surface, roll out one disk at a time until 1/8 inch thick. Cut with a floured cookie cutter. Place one inch apart on prepared baking sheets.
6. Bake 12 to 14 minutes until golden and set. Cool on baking sheet on wire rack 1 minute; remove cookies to rack to cool completely. Decorate with icing and nonpareils.
I think I would probably eliminate the citron and peels as I don't care for them but the rest of the recipe sounds yummy!!
Happy baking.
