My son (30 yrs old now) favorite since childhood is pfefferneuse cookies. See below:
3/4 cup molasses
1/2 cup butter melt over low heat together
cool mixture
add 2 beaten eggs and 1/2 cup sugar

sift and add 4-1/2 c flour, 1-1/2 tsp baking soda, 1-1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground cloves, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, and a dash of pepper

Add to molasses mixture- chill in refrig till firm
Roll in small balls and place on greased cookie sheet in a 375 degree oven for about 10-12 min.

Roll in powdered sugar (10X) and cool on racks.

NOTE: DO NOT OVERBAKE - cookies will be tough

GOOD LUCK!
