Ingredients:

Serving

3 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp ground ginger
1 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
3/8 cup butter
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup unsulphured molasses
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp finely grated lemon peel

Directions:

In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices.
In a large bowl, beat butter, sugar and egg with mixer on medium speed until creamy. Add molasses, vanilla, and citrus peel and beat about 1 minute until smooth.
Gradually beat in about 1/2 of the flour mixture. With a large wooden spoon, stir in remaining flour mixture until blended. Divide dough in half. Wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours until firm or up to 4 days.
Place 1 rack in upper third of oven. Heat to 375. Roll dough to scant 1/4 in thickness and cut cookies.
Bake in upper third of oven 7 to 10 minutes until edges of cookies are slightly darker than centers. Cool on cookie sheets 2 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
