  1. 1 Scald milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to bubble, about 3 minutes. Cool to lukewarm.
  2. 2 While milk is cooling, dissolve yeast in warm water in a bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
  3. 3 Transfer milk to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough attachment. Add brown sugar, melted shortening, molasses, and salt; mix until well combined. Mix in yeast mixture.

  4. 4 Transfer dough to a greased bowl and turn to coat the surface. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  5. 5 Punch down dough and transfer to a lightly floured board. Knead until dough is elastic and does not stick to the board. Let rest for 5 minutes. Divide into thirds and shape into loaves. Place each loaf in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, 30 to 45 minutes.

Whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and nutmeg together in a large bowl until evenly combined. Add molasses mixture to dry ingredients and stir until dough forms. Mix in citron and hazelnuts. Cover dough and refrigerate until firm, at least 8 hours to overnight.
  2. 2 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into small rectangles and place 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets.
  3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven, until no imprint remains when touched lightly, about 10 to 12 minutes. Brush hot cookies with icing and transfer immediately to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container with a piece of apple or orange for 2 to 3 days to soften and develop flavor.
  4. 4 To make the icing: Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat to between 234 and 240 degrees F (112 to 116 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface. Remove from heat and stir in the confectioners' sugar. If icing becomes grainy, reheat gently with a little water until crystals dissolve.
