For a softer cookie, bake for the shorter time. For a crispier edge, bake for the longer time. Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. The flavor improves after a day or two. A touch of lemon or orange zest can brighten the spice notes. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 2 cups all-purpose flour with 3 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
