1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon mace
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon anise oil
3/4 cup molasses
3/4 cup honey
3/4 cup butter or margarine
1 egg, beaten

Directions:

Sift all dry ingredients together. Place molasses and honey in pan and warm - don't boil. Add butter and stir to melt. Cool; add egg. Stir into dry ingredients - do not overmix. Let stand 15 minutes. Roll into little balls. Bake on greased cookie sheet 12-15 minutes at 350 degrees. If desired, roll in powdered sugar while still warm.

Makes a lot, but don't be tempted to make the balls bigger.

These are great dunked in coffee or hot chocolate.
