    Louisa's Notes: One of my favorite cookies is from the Dutch Oven Bakery in northern Michigan. The Dry Bone cookies come in two sizes, but I like the smaller, crunchy ones best. This cookie is a spice cookie...

  6. Divide the dough into 4 portions. Roll each portion into a 2" thick log. I do a log that has four flat edges (like a milled log). Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for two hours or until very firm (can also be frozen at this point.)

    Ask a question about this step
  7. Using a sharp knife, cut a 3" section off the log. Slice this section longways into slender pieces. Place on baking sheet with silpat/parchment, 1/2 inch apart.

  8. Bake at 350 for 6-8 minutes or until edges of cookie just start to darken. Transfer cookies to wire rack for cooling. Cookies should be crisp when they are cooled. Store Dry Bones in a tin or tightly closed container.

Apologies! There is a mistake in the recipe which I have not been able to correct. The 1/2 Cup molasses/sorghum is listed twice.
The recipe should have listed it only once. There is only one 1/2 Cup molasses/sorghum in the recipe.
Thanks!
