Lassy Mogs Recipe

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup molasses
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups raisins
  • 1 3/4 cups dates, pitted and chopped
  • 2 cups pecans, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped candied fruit
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  1. Combine the butter, brown sugar, water, molasses, allspice, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and black pepper in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then remove from the heat, and allow to cool. Once warm to the touch, stir in the vanilla extract, and pour into a mixing bowl. Cover, and let stand at room temperature at least 8 hours.
  2. Stir in the raisins, dates, pecans, and candied fruit. Whisk together the salt, baking soda, and flour; stir into the fruit mixture until no dry lumps remain. Refrigerate 3 to 4 hours until firm.
  3. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  4. Form the mixture into golf ball-sized balls. Place onto ungreased baking sheets 1 1/2-inches apart, and flatten with your palm to 1/4-inch thick. Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
