Prepare the dough: In a mixing bowl, beat together the butter (1 1/2 cups) or margarine (1 cup) with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for about 30 seconds until creamy and smooth.

Add flavorings: To the creamy mixture, add the sugar, lemon zest (from 1 lemon), ground ginger (1 tsp), and ground cloves (1/8 tsp). Continue beating until all the ingredients are well combined.

Incorporate wet ingredients: Beat in the egg and fresh lemon juice (1 lemon) until fully combined with the mixture.
