Witch windows are often found on the second story of farmhouses built in the 1800s. 🪟🧹✨They’re an interesting piece of architecture born from the folk belief that witches cannot fly on their broomsticks through a crooked window. They’re also known as coffin windows, as many believe they were added to farmhouses to make it easier to remove coffins from second-story bedrooms. - This is part of an excerpt from my recipe in the Fall 2023 issue of Enchanted Living (faeriemagazine) where this recipe was featured! 
Cookies:
½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick) at room temperature
⅔ cup dark brown sugar
3⅓ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon baking soda
⅛ teaspoon baking powder
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 egg, at room temperature
½ cup molasses
Add the flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to a large mixing bowl. Sift to combine. Set aside.
Cream together the butter and the sugar with your electric mixer until just combined. Scrape down the sides. Add the egg and molasses and stir on low until well blended. Add in the flour slowly. (I like to use a large spoon and add a spoonful at a time until there’s no flour left.) Stop periodically to scrape the side of the bowl to make sure everything is incorporating evenly. The dough should be dry but not crumbly. Pull dough out of the mixer and divide into thirds. Wrap each third in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. (Recipe continues in comments)
