Steps:
- 1. With a heavy duty mixer, blend together eggs and sugar. Beat until creamy.
- 2. Add molasses, vanilla, and orange zest. Beat 3-4 minutes on medium speed until well blended.
- 3. Measure 4 level cups of plain flour and reserve 1/2 cup for later. Sift together remaining 3-1/2 cups plain flour, baking powder, and spices.
- 4. In a bowl, coat candied citron and nuts with the reserved 1/2 cup of plain flour.
- 5. Slowly add flour and spice mixture to batter and blend on fold/low speed just until blended.
- 6. Gently fold in citron & nuts. Dough will be very thick and sticky.
- 7. Place dough in air tight container and refrigerate overnight. This allows your spices to combine together for maximum spiciness! :)

- 9. Cut out with cookie cutters OR drop by rounded spoonfuls and flatten out. Decorate as desired.
- 10. Place on a cookie-sheet coated with cooking spray or parchment paper.
