Cómo preparar The Most Wonderful Gingerbread Cookies

  1. Whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 large egg until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1/2 cup molasses, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the dough in half, wrap each half tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours. (This step is crucial for easier handling!)
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one half of the dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Use additional flour as needed to prevent sticking.
  8. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes. Place cookies 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly firm. Baking time may vary depending on thickness and oven.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Once cool, decorate as desired with royal icing, powdered sugar glaze, or sprinkles!
