Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 cups molasses
1 1/2 cups honey
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 tsp ground anise seed
1/2 tsp ground cardamom
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground nutmeg
3/4 tsp ground cloves
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp grated lemon zest
1/2 cup butter , cut into pieces
2 tbsp baking soda
1 tbsp water
6 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour

Directions:

Bring molasses, honey, and sugar to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium heat, then remove from heat and allow to cool for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Stir in anise, cardamom, ginger, nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, lemon zest, and butter. Dissolve baking soda in water, then stir into the molasses mixture. Sift together 6 cups of flour with the baking powder and cocoa powder into a large bowl. Stir in molasses mixture and eggs until smooth. Stir in remaining 3 cups flour until a stiff dough has formed.
Divide dough into 4 pieces to make it more manageable. Roll the dough to 1/4-inch thick on a well floured surface and cut into shapes with a cookie cutter.
Bake cookies on ungreased baking sheets 8 to 10 minutes until lightly browned around the edges. Cool completely on a wire rack.
