This is a cookie recipe that my husband's great-grandmother brought to America when they immigrated here from the Black Forest in the early 1900's. The recipe was handed down to great-grandmother from her mother and grandmother!

Dahubby's grandmother taught me to make these cookies when I was 19 and she was 85. I make them every Christmas, a double batch, and freeze half of them. My kids love these cookies and they freeze great, and I just pull them out in the summer, icen them and VOILA!

Dutch Cakes

3 cups molasses (good quality)
1 cup sugar
1-2 eggs
2 cups lard
1 1/2 tbsp. baking soda
1 teas. cinnamon
1/2 teas. EACH nutmeg, ginger, cloves
1 1/2 pound raisins, chopped (dredge lightly with flour for ease in chopping)
2 cups nuts, chopped
1/4 cup hot water
5 pounds flour

Warm molasses in large pot over very low heat. Mix in sugar, egg(s) and lard. Heat very slowly until sugar is dissolved, molasses has thinned and lard has melted, stirring occasionally. Add soda and water. Mix in spices. Add flour 2 cups at a time to make a stiff consistency.

These are very good, and not as much work as it seems. Chop your nuts and raisins a day or two ahead of baking day.
**You can't mix with with an electric mixer. It requires a very large bowl and you have to mix it with a VERY sturdy wooden spoon by hand. I have to get dahubby to finish stirring it towards the end, my arm gives out**

Take a portion of dough (about the size of a large grapefruit), knead in more flour if necessary to rolling consistency. Roll 1/8" thick. Cut into squares or rectangles about 2" (I use a pastry roller to cut, much faster) Bake on cookie sheets, greased lightly with lard. Cool on newspaper or towels.

Icing:
1 tbsp. oleo, 1 teas. vanilla and 2 tbsp. milk, heated til oleo melts.
Add sifted powder sugar to make a light glaze (add more milk or more powder sugar as needed) After cooling, icen cookies. If you are freezing some of these, freeze without icing.
