Preparation

TO MAKE DOUGH: In medium bowl, combine all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking soda, salt, lemon zest, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, cloves and white pepper. Set aside. In large mixing bowl, use stand mixer or handheld to beat butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add molasses, eggs and vanilla. Beat until thoroughly combined. Add flour mixture. Stir gently to combine.
TO CHILL DOUGH: wrap dough in bowl covered with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.
TO BAKE. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
TO BAKE COOKIES: drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto baking sheet leaving 2 inches between cookies. Bake for 10 mins or until golden brown. Cool 5 mins then transfer. Cool completely.
TO GLAZE COOKIES: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice. Drizzle or spoon glaze over cooled cookies.
STORE: In an air tight container for up to a few days -- I am not sure whether these freeze well or store in fridge either -- will update once I make them!
