Step by Step Method
Step 1
In large bowl, beat 1/2 cup butter and sugars with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
Step 2
Beat in molasses and water until blended (mixture may look curdled).
Step 3
On low speed, beat in flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, cloves and salt.
Step 4
Divide dough in half; wrap each half in plastic wrap. Refrigerate about 2 hours or until chilled.
Step 5
Heat oven to 350°F.
Step 6
Line cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper.
Step 7
On well-floured surface, roll half of dough at a time to 1/8-inch thickness (keep remaining dough refrigerated). Cut with 2-inch round cookie cutter. Using large end of a piping tip or 1/2-inch round cutter, cut a hole in center of half of the cutouts. Carefully transfer to cookie sheets, placing 1/2 inch apart.
Step 8
Reroll scraps.
Step 9
Bake 9 to 12 minutes or until set in center.
Step 10
Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Step 11
In large bowl, beat frosting ingredients on medium speed until light and fluffy.
Step 12
Spread about 1 heaping teaspoon frosting on each whole cookie; top with cutout cookie.
Step 13
If desired, sprinkle additional grated lemon peel on frosting in center.
