- 1 2/3 cups sugar
- 1 orange, zested
- 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus 1/2 cup additional for rolling, if needed
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon ground dry ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Direcciones
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle, add the butter, sugar and orange zest and beat until smooth, 5 to 8 minutes.
- in a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, dry ginger, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, cloves and salt. Whisk to blend. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, molasses and lemon juice.
- When the butter and sugar are integrated, lower the speed of the mixer and add the dry ingredients. Add the egg mixture and when blended, remove the bowl from the machine. Divide the cookie dough in half. Press the first half of the dough in between 2 sheets of waxed paper or plastic wrap and chill for 15 minutes. Repeat with the second half. This step will make it easier to finish rolling out the dough when it has chilled. It will also mean you only have half of the dough getting warm as you roll it.
- Lightly flour a flat surface.
- Use a floured rolling pin to gently roll the first half of the dough about 1/2-inch thick.
- Lightly flour the cookie cutter(s) and cut the shapes, making as few scraps as possible.
- Use a metal spatula to gently transfer them, cookie by cookie, (the cookies should be similar size) to a baking sheet.
- Repeat with the other half of the dough and transfer them to an
- other baking sheet.
- A note about crowding the tray(s): these particular cookies can spread a little. Leave room between the cookies.
- Better to use 3 baking sheets with fewer cookies than to crowd them on 2 trays.
- Bake until brown around the edges, 8 to 10 minutes.
