Steps:
- Sift together flour, baking soda, and baking powder into a large bowl. Set aside.
- Put butter and brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until fluffy. Mix in spices and salt, then eggs and molasses. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture; mix until just combined. Divide dough into thirds; wrap each in plastic. Refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out dough on a lightly floured work surface to a 1/4-inch thick. Cut into snowflakes with a 7- inch snowflake-shape cookie cutter. Space 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper, and refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Bake cookies until crisp but not dark, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks.
- Put icing in a pastry bag fitted with a small plain round tip (such as Ateco #7). Pipe designs on snowflakes; immediately sprinkle with sanding sugar. Let stand 5 minutes; tap off excess sugar. Let icing set completely at room temperature, about 1 hour.

[email protected]These cookies were okay. They weren't as good as I hoped, but they weren't terrible either. I probably won't make them again.

[email protected]I was really excited to try these cookies, but I was disappointed with the results. The dough was very difficult to work with, and the cookies turned out hard and dry. I followed the recipe exactly, but I'm not sure what went wrong.

[email protected]I've made these cookies several times now, and they are always a hit! They're so easy to make, and they turn out beautifully. The only thing I would say is that you need to be careful not to overbake them, or they will become hard. But as long as you
