Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    We really like these cookies. I am typically leery of orange zest & also found the addition of lemon juice odd BUT the cookies have a nice...brightness? zing?? behind all the deep warm spices. My kitchen is very warm in the winter & that ultimately meant 2 things - I should have chilled the ball of dough longer (at least I cut it in 1/2 to work with smaller portions) AND I should have chilled the trays of cut cookies before baking as I lost my nice sharp edges. My cookies are also more chewy than crisp but we like that. Lessons learned & I'm ready for next time.
