    List of Ingredients




    Groundhog Cookies


    2 Cups sifted flour
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1/2 tsp. baking soda
    1 tsp. baking powder
    1 tsp. powdered ginger
    1 tsp. ground cloves
    1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
    1/2 Cup butter, softened
    1 Cup sugar
    1/2 Cup molasses
    1 egg yolk
    1 egg, slightly beaten
    currants or cut up raisins

    Recipe




    Sift together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, ginger, cloves and cinnamon.

    Set aside.

    In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy.

    Blend in the molasses and egg yolk.

    Gradually stir in the flour mixture and mix well.

    Form into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator.

    Preheat oven to 350°.

    Place small amounts of dough on a sheet of plastic wrap and cover with plastic wrap, leaving the dough you aren't using in the fridge until you need it.

    Roll the dough to 1/4-inch thickness.

    Cut out the cookies using a lightly-floured cookie cutter.

    Place the cookies on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet.

    Brush with the slightly beaten egg.

    Decorate with currant or raisin eyes.

    Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes.

    Let cool slightly before removing from the cookie sheet.
