Directions:

Beat butter and sugar at medium speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer until fluffy.
Stir together baking soda and 1/4 cup hot water until dissolved; stir in molasses.
Stir together flour and next 4 ingredients. Add to butter mixture alternately with molasses mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Shape mixture into a ball; cover and chill 1 hour.
