Gingerbread Cookies (Martha Stewart recipe)

Gingerbread Cookies
Ingredients:
6 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 lbs. (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
4 tsp. ground ginger
4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/4 tsp. finely ground black pepper
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 large eggs
1 cup unsulfered molasses (I suggest sorghum molasses for a more delicate taste)

Sift flour together with baking soda and powder. In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar together; then mix in spices and salt, and add eggs and molasses. Add flour mixture to wet mixture and combine thoroughly. Chill dough for at least 1 hour. On floured surface, roll dough 1/8 inch thick and cut. Put on ungreased baking sheets and chill until firm (around 15 minutes). Bake 8-10 minutes at 325 F, until crisp but not dark.
