Ingredients
  • 3-1/4 cups sifted, unbleached flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1-1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 3/8 tsp baking soda
  • 1 zest from one orange
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup dark corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup molasses
Instructions
  1. Combine the dry ingredients and set aside.

  2. Mix the liquid ingredients together.

  3. Mix the dry and liquid ingredients together in a stand mixer. Make sure you use the dough hook attachment, NOT the paddle. Mix for about 7-8 minutes, until a dough forms.

  4. If the dough is still crumbly after mixing, you may need to remove it and knead it for a bit slightly, until a firm dough ball forms.

  5. Divide the dough into two oval discs.

    Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for at least one hour (or overnight, if you prefer).

  6. On a lighjtly floured surface, roll the dough to a 3/8" thickness.

  7. Brush the mold with flour before each pressing to prevent the dough from sticking.

  8. Place cookies on parchment lined cookie sheet and allow to dry for at least 8-12 hours, longer if the weather is humid.

  9. The tops of the cookies should feel dry to the touch.

  10. Bake at 300-degrees for 12 minutes. Larger cookies may require 14-15 minutes for baking.

  11. Cookies will be soft when removed from the oven. Slide parchment sheets onto cooling racks and allow to cool completely before moving the cookies.
