For a richer flavor, consider using brown butter shortening. Don't skip the chilling step! It's essential for the right texture. Vary the spices to your liking. Ginger or cardamom would also be delicious additions. For a vegan version, substitute the shortening for vegan butter. You can also use apple sauce or a flax egg instead of eggs.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, ground cloves, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a separate bowl, cream the shortening and fructose until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the lemon zest. (7 minutes)
03
StepGradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)
04
StepCover the dough tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours. This step is crucial for developing the flavor and preventing the cookies from spreading too thin. (24 hours)
05
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets or line them with parchment paper. (10 minutes)
06
StepDrop the chilled dough by rounded spoonfuls, about 1 1/2 inches apart, onto the prepared cookie sheets. (10 minutes)
07
StepBake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The centers should still be soft. (10-12 minutes)
08
StepLet the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. (15 minutes)
