- Add remaining ingredients, and mix until everything is well incorporated. I tend to go with the lesser amount of flour because I don't like fat cookies.4 tsp. baking soda, 1 tsp. cloves, 1 tsp. ground ginger, 2 tsp. cinnamon, 1 tsp. salt, 3 1/2 - 4 c. flour
- Roll into balls and dip them into a bowl of sugar, if desired.

Notes
If you want to create a festive Christmas cookie dip half of it into melted white chocolate and put on some sprinkles.
You can find the Brer Rabbit molasses on Amazon or at Walmart in the syrup section. I used about 1/3 c. of Brer Rabbit and filled the remaining 1/2 c. with Log Cabin All Natural Table Syrup, also purchased at Walmart. But feel free to use your favorite kind of molasses.
