Blend in molasses and sugar and then beat in the egg, baking soda, hot water, salt and vanilla. Stir in the flour to make a nice stiff dough to roll out. Lightly sprinkle more flour on work surface and roll out the dough to about 1/8th inch thick. Using a round cookie cutter, about 1 1/2 inch to 2 inch, cut into circles.
