Start with 1/2 cup of softened butter (4 ounces) in the mixer.

Add 3/4 cup of dark brown sugar and mix until light and fluffy.

Rub a measuring cup with vegetable oil before measuring 1/2 cup of molasses to help it slip out easily, then add to the butter and sugar mixture.

Beat in 2 eggs one at a time while mixing.

Measure 3 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Add 1 tablespoon of ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of allspice to the dry ingredients and sift together.

Mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until the dough comes together.

Shape the dough into two disks and chill for at least 1 hour.

Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to less than 1/4 inch thick.

Cut out shapes using cookie cutters and place them on a parchment-lined baking tray.

Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 15 to 18 minutes.

Let the cookies cool completely on the tray before lifting them.
