Try these delicious Lassy Mog cookies, a Canadian treat believed to have originated in Newfoundland.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 0.5 cup water
  • 1 cup molasses
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1.75 cups raisins
  • 1.75 cups dates, pitted and chopped
  • 2 cups pecans, chopped
  • 1.5 cups chopped candied fruit
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3.25 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions:
  • In a saucepan, mix together butter, brown sugar, water, molasses, allspice, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and black pepper. Simmer over medium heat, then cool. Once warm, add vanilla extract and transfer to a mixing bowl. Cover and let sit at room temperature for at least 8 hours before using.
  • Combine the raisins, dates, pecans, and candied fruit into the mixture. Whisk salt, baking soda, and flour together, then add to the fruit mixture until smooth. Chill for 3 to 4 hours until set.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Shape the mixture into golf ball-sized balls, then place them on ungreased baking sheets spaced 1 1/2 inches apart. Flatten each ball with your palm to a 1/4-inch thickness. Bake in the preheated oven until the edges turn golden, about 8 to 10 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
