DIRECTIONS
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in egg yolks, molasses and water. Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon and baking powder; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until easy to handle. On a lightly floured surface, roll out to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with 2-1/2-in. cookie cutters dipped in flour. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until edges are firm. Remove to wire racks to cool.
In a saucepan, combine sugar and water. Cook and stir over medium heat until a candy thermometer reads 240 degrees F (soft-ball stage). In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add sugar syrup, beating until stiff. Beat in confectioners' sugar. Frost the cookies. Let dry on wire racks.

While the frosting was perfect, the cookies didnt have enough molasses flavor. They were also very cake like...not for people who like chewy molasses cookies. In the end they were OK, but nothing to write home about, especially for all the work that goes into them.
