Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar (firmly packed)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, mix together flour, spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and cardamom), baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate large bowl, cream together butter, sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer on low speed.
  • Gradually blend the flour mixture into the butter mixture until it is well combined.
  • Divide the dough into flat discs. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Roll out half of the dough at time to 1/4 inch thickness between two sheets of parchment paper or two silicone mats. Cut out using your favorite cookie cutters. They do spread a little bit so don't choose something with an intricate shape.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are lightly browned. They will still be soft. The cookies crisp up as they cool.
  • Cool on cooling rack before serving.
