How to make it

  • Combine butter, sugar, molasses and honey in a saucepan and melt together, stirring to prevent burning See Photo. Remove from heat. See Photo
  • Stir in the flour and divide dough into two separate bowls.
  • To one bowl of dough, stir in ginger, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg, stirring well to combine. To the other bowl add the cocoa powder and water, mixing well to combine.
  • Cover dough in plastic wrap and chill 2 hours.
  • Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • On a plastic-lined countertop, roll out a third of one portion of the dough to about 1/4" thickness.
  • On another floured surface, roll out 1/3 of the other portion of dough to 1/4" thickness.
  • Transfer the dough on the plastic wrap to the top of the other dough and press lightly to adhere the two sheets. See Photo
  • Gently gather the doughs into a ball and re-roll into a 1/8", marbled-looking sheet (you may have to lightly knead it to marble, don't do it too much!) See Photo
  • Cut out cookies using a miniature cookie cutter or fondant cutter. Chill 30 minutes.
  • Repeat rolling/marbling/cutting/chilling process for the remaining dough (doing three batches ensures it stays cold and won't require as much re-rolling).
  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Bake for 12 minutes. Cool on the sheets, set on a cooling rack, for 30 minutes before transfering the parchment to the racks and cooling completely.
