Steps:
- Whisk the flour, baking soda, ginger, allspice, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and granulated sugar together on medium-high speed until creamed, about 1 minute. Add the egg, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract and beat on high speed until combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl and beat again as needed to combine.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low until combined. Beat in 2 Tablespoons of chopped crystallized ginger. Dough will be thick and sticky. Scoop small sections of dough (about 1 scant Tablespoon of dough each) and roll into balls. Very lightly dip the tops of each into remaining crystallized ginger. (You don't want too much- just a few pieces.) Place dough balls onto a large plate or lined baking sheet.
- Cover and chill the cookie dough balls in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (and up to 4 days).
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
- Arrange chilled cookie dough balls 3 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until lightly browned on the sides. The centers will look very soft.
- Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Whisk the glaze ingredients together. If desired, add more confectioners' sugar to thicken or more juice to thin out. The thicker the glaze, the whiter (and less translucent) it will be. Drizzle on cooled cookies. Icing will set after about 1 hour, so these are convenient to store and transport.
- Cookies without glaze stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 1 week. Cookies with glaze stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Steps:
- Whisk the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in the egg, then the vanilla and lemon extracts. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture until just combined.
- Remove half the dough to a large piece of plastic wrap, flatten into a disk and wrap. Add 2 tablespoons gelatin powder, the lemon zest and juice and the yellow gel food coloring to the remaining dough and beat until combined. Turn out onto another piece of plastic, flatten into a disk and wrap. Refrigerate both disks until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Roll out each disk of dough into a 10-by-11-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Put the plain dough on top of the lemon dough and trim the edges. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon yellow sanding sugar over the top of the dough and gently spread to evenly cover. Starting with a long end, roll up the dough into a log. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours or overnight.
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Mix the remaining 2 tablespoons gelatin powder, 1 tablespoon yellow sanding sugar and the coarse white sugar in a bowl; sprinkle on a sheet of parchment. Roll the dough in the sugar mixture, pressing to adhere. Slice the log into 3/8-inch-thick rounds; arrange 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are puffed and set around the edges, about 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the pans, then transfer to racks to cool completely.

PEPPERMINT PINWHEEL COOKIES
This recipe is from Southern Living...December 2009. Leave time to freeze the dough before cooking the cookies. The picture in the magazine shows them wrapped in cellophane with ribbons on either side of the cookie so they look like big starlight peppermint candies. Cute idea for packaging for gift giving...

GINGER-LEMON OATMEAL COOKIES
I saw this on Ten Dollar Dinners and it sounded delish. I have it on the menu to make and didn't want to lose it, so posting it here. The flavor is bright and the cookies are soft and chewy. I hope you enjoy, it has rave reviews on the foodnetwork site. You can use smaller scoops to make 30 intead of 15 cookies. One reviewer made these dairy and gluten free by substituting coconut oil (@ room temp coconut oil is in its solid form, in place of butter; adds natural sweetness, eliminates all the cholesterol, All Purpose Gluten Free Flour, and adding 1/4 tsp Xanthan Gum per 1c flour (helps ingredients bind as would gluten. She baked them in a convection oven at 350 degrees for 9 minutes. Recipe courtesy Melissa d'Arabian, Episode: Wallet Friendly Wraps
