Molasses Cookies(Chewy German Cookie)

Boil molasses, brown sugar, spices, and water for a few minutes to make a fragrant syrup.

Cool the syrup until warm, then stir in chopped nuts.

Mix flour with baking powder and work it into the syrup to form a firm dough.

Let the dough rest until completely cool and easier to roll.

Roll or pat the dough out, cut into diamonds, and place on greased baking sheets.

Bake until the cookies are set at the edges but still chewy in the center.
