This is the best molasses cookie I have ever had. The coffee and mustard sound like strange ingredients, but make a world of difference in the flavor of the cookies. The extra spices are the way I like them. Plain or glazed, they are wonderful. This recipe makes alot but they never last long in our house.

    Glaze: 2 cups powdered sugar (Preferably C & H brand) 1 tbl softened butter, dash of salt, splash of vanilla, and evaporated milk. Whisk all ingredients together till smooth, adding enough milk to make icing thin enough to glaze cookies or drizzle over tops. I really like them this way.
