The joe frogger is a type of cookie that has been popular in new england since the late 18th century. it is flavored with molasses, rum, and spices (ginger, allspice, nutmeg, cloves) and has a soft, chewy center. because the cookies kept well they could be taken on long sea voyages, and so became popular with fishermen and sailors. the original cookies were the size of pancakes and were cooked in an iron skillet; those made today are typically smaller, and baked in an oven.
