In a medium mixing bowl, combine molasses and hot water. Whisk together and let cool. While molasses is cooling, combine all dry ingredients into a separate bowl and whisk together. Set aside. Add sugars, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the cooled molasses mixture and whisk together. Pour the molasses mix into a stand mixer bowl and slowly add flour. With a fitted paddle attachment, combine together. Once combined, cover the top and refrigerate the dough for 30-40 minutes. Remove cookie dough from the fridge. Using a small cookie scooper (about 1 tablespoon), scoop out cookies onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes at 350°F. Remove and let cool for about 30 minutes. Make the frosting by beating the softened butter in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add powder sugar, cinnamon, maple syrup, and heavy cream. Beat until smooth. Pipe frosting on the bottom of one cookie and place another cookie on top, creating a cookie sandwich! Dust with powder sugar. Enjoy.
