Ingredients:

Yield:

24
5inch tall cookies

Directions:

Prep Time: 2 1/4 hrs
Total Time: 2 1/2 hrs
  1. 1 In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves until well blended.
  2. 2 In a large bowl (KitchenAid's great for this) beat butter, brown sugar, and egg on medium speed until well blended.
  3. 3 Add molasses, vanilla, and lemon zest and continue to mix until well blended.
  4. 4 Gradually stir in dry ingredients until blended and smooth.
  5. 5 Divide dough in half and wrap each half in plastic and let stand at room temperature for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours.
  6. 6 (Dough can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, but in this case it should be refrigerated. Return to room temp before using.) Preheat oven to 375°.
  7. 7 Grease or line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  8. 8 Place 1 portion of the dough on a lightly floured surface.
  9. 9 Sprinkle flour over dough and rolling pin.
  10. 10 Roll dough to a scant 1/4-inch thick.
  11. 11 Use additional flour to avoid sticking.
  12. 12 Cut out cookies with desired cutter-- the ginger bread man is our favorite of course.
  13. 13 Space cookies 1 1/2-inches apart.
  14. 14 Bake 1 sheet at a time for 7-10 minutes (the lower time will give you softer cookies-- very good!).
  15. 15 Remove cookie sheet from oven and allow the cookies to stand until the cookies are firm enough to move to a wire rack.
  16. 16 After cookies are cool you may decorate them any way you like.
  17. 17 I usually brush them with a powdered sugar glaze when I am in a hurry, but they look wonderful decorated with Royal icing.
