Black tea
Cream together:
Unsalted butter, softened
Sugar
Vanilla

Molasses
Mix together, then add to butter mixture alternately with the cooled tea:

Mix all ingredients well. Chill for at least 24 hours. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll dough out on a lightly floured counter to 1/4 inch thickness and cut with your favorite Ann Clark cookie cutters, then transfer cookies onto cookie sheets that have been lined with parchment paper or silicone liners. Bake 8 to 10 minutes until lightly colored. Let cookies cool slightly on cookie sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Dip them in melted chocolate as pictured, or decorate with Royal Icing or buttercream frosting, or just eat them plain.
Enjoy!
