"These cookies are a wonderful blend of molasses and spices; everyone thinks there's ginger in them, but the real star is a more subtle flavor: allspice. They keep and ship exceptionally well (up to a month in an airtight cookie tin), and even benefit from a day or two of aging, so the spices can blend...."
