+Servings: 40 (makes about 40 cookies)
+
+## Ingredients
+
+### Cookies
+
+85 g (6 T) unsalted butter
+80 g brown sugar
+114 g molasses
+350 g all-purpose flour
+50 g dark rye flour
+2 T unsweetened cocoa powder (natural or Dutch-process)
+1 t baking powder
+1/2 t baking soda
+1/2 t ground anise
+1/2 t ground cinnamon
+1/2 t ground cloves
+1/2 t ground ginger
+1/2 t ground nutmeg
+1/2 t ground allspice
+1/4 t salt
+2 large eggs, lightly beaten, at room temperature
+
+### Icing
+
+130 g confectioner's sugar
+spray oil to get sugar to stick
+
+
+## Directions
+
+### Assemble Cookies
+
++ In a small (2-quart/2-liter) saucepan over medium heat, melt the
+  butter with the brown sugar and molasses, stirring until the sugar
+  dissolves.
++ Add spices and cook until butter has browned.
++ Remove from the heat and let cool until just warm to the touch.
+
++ In a large bowl mix flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt until combined
+
++ Add cooled butter mixture to large bowl with flour and mix until
+  crumbly. Add room-temperature beaten eggs and knead with hands to
+  form a soft, uniform dough. Continue kneading until a shiny pliable
+  ball is formed
+
++ Divide dough in half (each should weigh around 400 g) and form two 4
+  cm diameter logs. Tightly wrap in parchment paper, tucking in the
+  ends of the wrap. Refrigerate overnight.
+
+### Bake Cookies
+
++ Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a pan with parchment paper.
+
++ Slice refrigerated log into 1.5 cm slices and roll each slice into
+  ball and place on prepared sheet (with 2 cm spacing)
+
++ Bake for 15 minutes
+
++ Let rest on the sheet pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire rack
+  to cool completely.
+
+### Powder Cookies
+
++ When completely cooled, spray cookies with a very light coat of
+  neutral oil (canola or similar) and coat with confectioner's sugar
+  by sifting. [The neutral oil will help the sugar to stick.]
